You don’t need to feel that way at all. Maybe my poetry is more accessible, paradoxically enough. At least simply because it’s so much shorter and I don’t ramble and digress and go all over the place. And it’s easier at provoking people to think I guess. Poetry in general, I mean. Well, decent poetry anyway.
I feel like a traitor when your poetry penetrates my head more than your prose. It's not my fault, I insist to myself.

We’re very happy you like it though. Thank you!
I can't remember what the trigger was either but I do know you couldn't stand Andrew Motion's poetry because it was like chopped up prose.
Yeah - Motion is definitely a trigger!
