How did you first engage with poetry?
When I was very young, maybe between the ages of 3 and 5, my father read me Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner over and over again as my primary bedtime story. I fell asleep to the sounds of words becoming storms and travels. Later in life I often wandered into the poetry section of libraries in the small northern towns I grew up in. I just choose random books from the shelf, never really understanding what I was reading, yet enjoying it for reasons beyond myself.
