Reading one poem a day for a year: notes

I picked a random anthology and read one poem every morning before coffee. Some days it was nothing, some days it carried the whole day.

Our club reads one chapter a week out loud. It's slow, but nobody falls behind.

E-ink for travel, paper at home. No need to pick a side.

I tried this last year and ended up somewhere completely different. Not worse, just different.

Rereading is underrated. You're a different reader the second time.

Same experience here.

The second time went a lot better once I stopped rushing it.

Honestly paper books are just easier on my eyes than screens, nothing more to it.
