  To celebrate this month's release of the second edition of 366 Days of Poetry released. Links to the collection can be found at: https://books2read.com/u/3n2Yv9 .   To the Writers of the Mandatory Readings   Written on August 3, 2015, for the April 18 entry of 366 Days of Poetry , this piece was inspired by the many mandatory readings I had to cover for my university course.     Theory schmeory, give my head a break. I don’t need your Realism, or Constructivism for God’s sake!   Literature schmiterature from which one do I partake? Each one is so tempting, what’s not to love or hate?   And for those writers who are concise, whose words are clear and sharp, I lend those bright, rare creatures a place within my heart.     Cover art is by Jake at JCaleb Design, and links to 366 Days of Poetry can be found on Books2Read at: https://books2read.com/u/3n2Yv9 .
