Fly through a poem as it scrolls towards you, moving as the poem moves you. Your position is your response.
Two flights, two questions. First pass: as each line comes, veer one way when the poem lifts you, the other when it darkens. Second pass: drift one way when you feel the speaker's feeling, another if you think they're thinking. Then study your flightpath — compare it with other readers, with an expert guideline from a teacher or critic, or with your own re-readings. Divergence means discussion, and a return to the text itself. Tryable now: William Blake, 'The Sick Rose' · Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnet 43.
Affect — the emotional intensity a poem stirs in its reader, as opposed to its intellectual meaning. An affectonaut is a voyager through affect (from affect + Greek nautēs, a sailor). Every move is a chance to argue, reflect, and re-read.
