Andrey's questions about poems (split from the intro thread)

[AndreyGaganov]

Maybe if you stopped thinking of reading as an academic chore and started thinking of it as most of us do -- as a pleasurable experience -- you'd have better luck.

That means that, once again, I have to forget about the poet's intent (can't believe that again I'm typing something that makes no sense), that I don't have to look for a meaning (which does not seem  to be the case with Jarrell's poem), and embrace the sounds and rhythms of every poem I come across. 

So, I guess that my objective should be to record myself reading a poem, listen to the recording again and again, and repeat the steps with every poem. Right? Listening to these recordings is going to be tough because I've heard my speaking voice many times before and I still hate it. Do you think I should get a different reader?
