In college I learned how to speed read poetry when taking a survey course. We had to read most of the Faerie Queene and this was in addition to three other novels for my other English courses. You can speed read poetry well enough to pass an exam, but I still would never claim that I have read the Faerie Queene. Speed reading poetry is not real reading and it is painful.
