I have started The World's Wife by Carol Ann Duffy.
I don't normally read poetry. I quite enjoy listening to it on the radio - I think of it as a performance medium really. But this is the upcoming Bookclub selection. So I'll give it a go.
But how do you read a book of poetry? Just start at the beginning and work through? I think of poetry as more like music. You don't just listen to a CD once and move on. You listen to music repeatedly until you engage with it or reject it. Should I approach poetry that way?
