Deconstructing Bad Poetry
I wrote some bad poetry that I published in North African journals, but even as I withdrew into this reading, I also led the life of a kind of young hooligan.

This term has actually been around for a long time, and its meaning has not changed much over the years. Basically, deconstructing bad poetry means looking at the poem objectively so that it can be read as a whole work of art instead of just a collection of words.
In order to do this, you will first have to find some examples of bad poetry that doesn't mean anything to you personally. A good place to start is by going online and looking for poetry blogs. Look for one that has a high reader base and has a regular number of comments. If you don't like the site's design or the comments sections, don't go there. Just pick one and leave it alone!
