I decided to do my investigation on Poet Jeramy Dodds. He lives in Orono, Ontario. He is a very famous poet and his work has been translated into other languages.  His poetry uses humour to approach everyday life situations. In one of his interview he mentions that he started writing when he reached puberty because he couldn’t talk to others about his feelings. I do that too. I write about thing s that I can’t talk to people about. So the best poetry is the one that comes straight from heart.

I read “The Epileptic Acupuncturist” by the poet and in this poem  the poet gives the general public advices. These advices given by poet are ironic since we are thought the exact opposite thing every day. For instance at one point the poet says: “Don’t mind your own business to the ground.” For some reason this line really appealed to me and made me ponder. It am still not sure what author means by this.
