I'm not sure about how to make poetry more accessible, but it would almost have to be outside of institutions altogether, not at the academic level. I studied to teach college English, and everything felt so weighed down by theory and the need to find a thesis topic that even something as free as poetry started to feel rote; like subjects of analysis rather than the artists' expressions. It's a tricky puzzle!

added 4 books we recently read to the bookshelf!! - j

@miela yeah, it really is tricky!! academia is so busted, and so academic approaches to just about anything can either kill your passion or kindle it. it feels like there's no in between. i think that poetry appreciation should be seen as a casual thing, as something people just do if they fancy. like reading prose!

two new abstract art pieces dropped!! https://manyface.neocities.org/abstractart/deathistheroom.jpg and https://manyface.neocities.org/abstractart/flightleaf.jpg !! there are now 101 ABSTRACT ART PIECES!!! we should do something to celebrate :D !!! - j
