This is Common Measure.
What do I get?
An original poem, explained, and with a practical lesson extracted, once a week on Tuesdays at 10:30AM. Poetry as a simple guide to living.
Why would I want that?
Many of our guides to living are medical, political, and financial. Those are all great things, but we need poetry too.
Poetry is a tool with immense practical value, but this is often overlooked because poetry is difficult to read. Whatever its other merits are, most literary criticism does not explain poetry in simple terms.
So I make poetry less intimidating, hoping that everyone can understand it. Secondly, I email you lessons learned through poetic thinking, so you can use literature as a guide to living.
