The uses of technology continue to expand. Got an email from a friend this morning telling me that the Poetry Foundation has a free app--"Poetry" for an android device. You pick two topics, poke it, and whizzz.....you get a list of poems that include these two topics. Something like that, anyway. My "android" device, apparently, doesn't do much of anything except run up a big monthly bill, and I don't have any fun with it. Not even going to try this. Hmph.
What would Emily Dickinson think? And how many of the poems in the lists are by women?
I guess that's interesting, but I am ashamed to say I have never been much of a fan of poetry. Or short stories come to that. I am a hopeless fan of the huge bif doorstop of a novel.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Have you noticed any difference in your enjoyment of those big doorstops???
DeleteFurther....do you read novels on Kindle and the like? Do you still like them?
