Reading poetry is a skill and one that I have not used in a while. I used to read more in my teens and twenties and have no valid reason for waiting so long to pick up a book of poetry again. That’s why I appreciated that a prompt on one of my reading challenges was a collection of poetry published since 2014. This was a great excuse to seek out new poets and new collections and I enjoyed my experience with The Black Maria, even if I found myself confused by the format.
