Short does not mean slight.
Poems, essays and plays can be completed quickly while still giving you a full arc of voice and thought. Begin with the easier level when you want flow; choose a harder text when you want a focused language workout.
A practical session
Read first, look up selectively.
Give the opening five minutes your full attention. Save only the words that block meaning, then use the end-of-chapter reflection to keep one image, claim or question.
