In “How to Read a Poem” by Edward Hirsch teaches me how to carefully read a poem. He states that “the goal of careful reading is often to take up a question of meaning, an interpretive question that has more than one answer”. That means you have to have a good listening ear for how sound a rhythm is related to meaning. William Carlos wrote a poem addressed to his wife and he admits in this poem, the lines was difficult. He said that a reader must complete what the poet has written. In order for a reader to complete a poem, he or she have to have an imagination. Society has a sharing experience in literature. whether its understanding about living, loving, or dying. The Lineation is the relationship between meaning, sound, and movement intended by the poet is sometimes hard to recognize. The best way to retain the grammatical sense of a poem is to read to the end of the phrase.
