First Impressions

I want to know exactly what a lyric life is and experience it for myself. Poetry has always been a staple of my life. My grandfather is a poet currently working on his second book, but I am under the impression that this class will change my views on poetry and I am fully ready for that. I want to know what it is to EXPERIENCE poetry not necissarily read the words, nod my head like I understand and move on, never looking back. I am ready for a lyric life. I am especially excited to look at music and how it will be involved in this class. Music is my blood, my life. I live for music. The beautiful thing about music is that it's universal. Everyone has some kind of music they love. I want the same thing for poetry. I feel as though poetry is something that everyone can love but in this time we are losing site of the art of poetry.
