How do I learn to fully appreciate poetry? I know nothing about meter and the only poems I've actively read was by Sappho but nothing outside of that.
pls help, /lit/!

These are troll threads, right?
Mary Kinzie's A Poets Guide to Poetry is pretty good.
Go to your library's catalog (or amazon) and search for "prosody".

Read any introduction to poetry cover to cover. I personally favor Poems Poets Poetry by Helen Vendler.
