I have some niche tastes haha. There’s more poetry I don’t enjoy than I do enjoy. I usually like to read ancient Chinese poetry, or when it comes to modern poetry, the likes of Gary Snyder, Nanao Sakaki or Mary Oliver. Poetry with a simple surface but that holds deep meaning. I tend to prefer reading physical books. You can always try out some compilations of poetry to find out what you like. Poetry Foundation website is great as well when it comes to finding poets and poetry. It took me many years before I realised I liked poetry… just because it’s such a subjective art. Poetry doesn’t equal having to read Shakespeare or Keats.
