Who is the hardest genre in literature? Best regards: A. Tomov – junior

Sandra Proto Hi again Alexandar
I think the hardest genre in literature to convey the writers attended message is poetry. I forgot what poet said (paraphrasing) that a novelist uses a lot o words to convey their message to the reader but a poet has to choose their words carefully because it is in a shorter form. This is so true, even if the poet writes an epic poem. Every word in a poem connects to one another to create a picture for the reader. If you have one obscure word that dangles there it’s a sty on your mind-confusing and painful.
