I would recommend 'Understanding Poetry' by Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks, as a good introduction, it also includes a reasonable collection of poems from various poets to appreciate. I would also suggest getting an anthology like 'The…
也许你可以再试一次，我年轻时也发现自己看不懂。那本极大地帮我更好理解诗歌的作品是 Robert Penn Warren 和 Cleanth Brookes 写的《Understanding Poetry》。
May be you could try it once again, I found that I couldn't get it too while I was younger. The work that greatly helped me to appreciate poetry better was, "Understanding Poetry" by Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brookes.
想开始读诗，我的建议是找一本像 Cleanth Brookes / Robert Penn Warren 写的《Understanding Poetry》这样的好教材。另外再买本不错的选集，比如 Palgrave 或者是 Anthony QuillerCouch 编的，收录了不同时代的众多诗人和诗作，便携小巧……

感谢分享，我自己读诗的经历似乎也差不多：年纪大一点之后，诗歌似乎就更容易懂了。读 Robert Penn Warren 和 Cleanth Brooks 的《Understanding Poetry》也对我影响很大。此外，收集选集也很有帮助。

> The few beautiful parts that you can't not like is indeed Mozart, but the rest is not. This strikes me as a bit too much in the vein of Pritchard's Understanding Poetry [1]. Sussmyer et al are not in Mozart's league for sure but the notion (and I'm exaggerating here not trying to straw man you) that near every note he wrote is false and everthing Mozart touched is gold…
