literary angst

Why must bookstores' poetry sections be so small? I went looking for A Shropshire Lad by A.E. Housman at Borders, Books & Music and it wasn't there. In the paper I'm writing about him I state that his poetry has remained loved, but it's hard to say that in good conscience when all of his writing must be bought online.

*headdesk*

That's an idea. I have very fat anthologies of poetry where I've read the entire thing, but it can take up to an entire year, and I don't read them in order.

Yeah, but you're also a college student with a major in which poetry is relevant. Your relationship with poetry is pretty far from the norm.
