"Most people only read novels occasionally and never read poetry."

Okay, if you say so then this must be true 😅. Weirdly enough though, Audible is incredibly popular. And even stranger, Lewis Carroll and Homer are considered highly rated and very popular authors on it. Both are poetry-centric.

And before you say anything about audiobooks, bear in mind Stephen King - a cherished wordsmith who married a poet, Tabitha King - has long since been an emphatic supporter of how they can help improve literacy.

Kind of a bummer if you don't like poetry - different stroke for different folks, but to say people never read it seems far more opinion than fact 🤡
