I try to challenge myself now and then though by reading a collection. I agree with you in your comment about the right poems leaving you with a feeling of reflection. I find that too. This sounds like an interesting mix.

It's such a personal thing that sometimes I'm left wondering if I got the author's point - leaving me feeling ambivalent.

Poetry (IMO) is a very personal thing and I sometimes struggle with it. That said, there are certain poets I enjoy and have some favorites.
