Answer:

The meaning of the word “contempt” in this context is scorn

Explanation:

The word “contempt” is used to describe the feeling that a person is not at our level or that there is no reason why you should respect that person, "scorn" is used in a very similar way but adding that we consider someone despicable and low, in this context the author is showing the low concept they have for the object of analysis.

Hey there!

The answer is likely something the lines of disrespect, scorn, or disdain. This line basically means that even if someone doesn't like poetry, they'll still find it to be a medium of <span>genuineness for the writer to express their feelings through</span>. In context, you could replace the word "contempt" with these synonyms and have the line still retain the same meaning. 

<span>"...Reading it, however, with a perfect" disdain "for it, one discovers in it after all, a place for the genuine."

</span>Hope this helped you out! :-)
