Poetry is not my gig. I have never gotten into it. For me, it is juvenile “Once was a Man from Nantucket” on side and twee hippy shit on the other. (Let the poetry hate mail commence!)
So when Sarah Bennett wrote about Sam Wagner’s book of poetry, The Poetry of Beer, I thought, in a nutshell, M’eh.
But then I read that Wagner got a grant to write about craft beer and esoteric poetry styles which must have been a convincing grant proposal. To further pique my interest one of the pieces is a rant about IPA’s.
So now I am on the fence about buying it. Which is saying something considering how much I don’t like sonnets and their ilk. Check out Wagner’s website HERE.
