It is not about the particular poem.. It was about the innovative ux aporoach of showing the poem stanza in context of the review.. but unfortunately the archive link strips this javascript feature. Try opening the page in private or alternate browser and If you are able to bypass the paywall, you can enjoy it.
yeah i got what it was going for eventually, but tbh it was annoying at first. the scroll interaction wasn’t clear and it broke the reading flow. felt more like a bug than a feature until i slowed down and figured it out. the context jumps were jarring too. didn’t really help with continuity.
Not an affiliate, nor a fan of nytimes.. Not sure why the title was changed and the context removed from the submission. I was highlighting an interesting ux where the review of the poem appears in context to the verses. And I could skip login in my private window in brave.

It's our policy and well-established convention here that we use the same title as the original article, with the only exception being if the original title is misleading or baity, in which case we'll try and lift an appropriate phrase from the article (including the URL, or a subtitle, or a photo caption).
A title that editorializes or makes a meta-commentary about the article is against that policy.
It's nothing personal! We make these changes to titles every day, and over the years we've found it serves our purposes very well.
