Billy Colins' "Introduction to Poetry"

Collins urges his students to come to the meaning of poetry by themselves. He makes this clear through the line, "and feel the walls for a light switch". This use of imagery juxtaposes the reality of his students' actions in the line, "and torture a confession out of it". Instead of reading the poetry for its meaning and purpose, the students simply read the poetry for content and try to find a concrete meaning as quickly as possible. However, Collins wants them to rid themselves of the narrow-minded mindset that they view poetry with.
