Poetry in Motion: Learning Combos by Back-Chaining

A long time ago I received a bilingual edition of a book of poems by Hungarian poet József Atilla as a gift from my lovely wife. Over the years I’ve occassionally browsed through the poems, reading them in both languages. I have often brought the book with me on trips to the beach, or on long flights, and spent idle moments trying to actually learn a poem by heart (to no avail as of yet). In a video that I now cannot find, the creator demonstrated a strategy for memorizing poetry; back-chaining.
