I must confess: Modern poetry baffles me. This should not be surprising. I am an English major but of an old, fossilized, and vanishing variety. I prefer a degree plan heavy on Shakespeare and very, very light indeed on Gender & Sexuality Studies. And here, friends, is the most damning confession of all: I really prefer poetry that rhymes.
