Enter Without so Much as Knocking | Radford Writes in Weston Creek, Australia Capital Territory
Are you looking for Enter Without so Much as Knocking story? Despite being a poet, and advertising myself as such, it’s been a long time since I’ve shared any poetry here - and I don’t think I’ve ever really talked about it in one of these posts. I think it’s high time I changed that, so I want to talk a bit about my favourite poet and my favourite poem.
So, to begin, let’s do things a little differently. Let’s set the scene. It’s 2011 and I’m not yet sixteen, sitting in my English Literature class (the least surprising class I could possibly have taken). We’re about to start our unit on poetry and I’m not excited for it. I have always found poetry boring at best and pretentious at worst - more interested in being flowery and purple than in expressing what they want to say. I definitely never would have expected to unironically be writing poetry of my own in only a few years time.
