Poetry for Digital Natives

13 March, 2017
Posted in: Princess

Herself: I thought T.S. Eliot only wrote cat poems.
Me: Um, no, he’s probably more famous for somewhat less accessible poems.
Herself: Like what?
Me (handing her a book of T.S. Eliot poetry which I have to hand, I am almost unbearably smug): Have a look at this.
Her (after perusing for some time): ‘April is the cruellest month’ is clearly clickbait. I mean, it’s really, ‘You won’t believe this one astonishing fact that makes April worse than all the other months.’

    haha! Busted, Tom Eliot. Then again, all poetry should be clickbaity in being something of an affront to receive wisdom, otherwise why bother. Discuss…
