The poems in this section have to do with “Ars Poetica.” This means The Art of Poetry in Latin. The poets of this collection of poems are actually using poetry to answer the questions of what poetry is, how it should be written, and how it should be read. There is one poem specifically that I felt agreed with my views of poetry and that is Billy Collins’ “Introduction of Poetry.” In this poem, I feel like he is trying to say that people try too hard and over-analyze poems. They sometimes try to force a meaning into a poem because they think that there has to be a reason that poem was written and it has to have some kind of deeper meaning of an issue going on in the world. I think that the end of the poem really points this out with the words “torture of confession out of it” and “they begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means.” I think that Collins is trying to tell people that they should just read poetry and enjoy it.

Another quote is ‘was alcohol banned’ this is a rhetorical question which makes the audience think that the person who is asking the question is in despair because stereotypically alcohol is thought to be able to drown sorrows in.
He gave “Dumpster Diving” a whole new meaning. To start off, Lars Eighner doesn’t just grab any old scrap he finds. He is rather cautious about the food he eats in order to avoid getting sick.
