#poetrycafe April 12: can writing poetry be learned?

Another way to phrase this: can poetry be taught?

If we're teaching/learning poetry, what exactly are we using as learning materials? Other poems, presumably. You'd have to know how to read as deep comprehension of language and grammar. Metaphors.

You should know what poetry isn't. So, study all other forms of writing and see the differences.

You should understand yourself and others and read everyone like a text. Be self-aware.

Maybe?
