Modern British Poetry

Modern British poetry refers to poems written in Britain from the early 20th century to the present, characterized by experimentation with style, form, and themes. It moves beyond traditional structures, exploring complex emotions, social issues, and individual perspectives. Influenced by diverse movements like symbolism, modernism, and postmodernism, it often challenges conventions, using vivid imagery, free verse, and innovative language. Prominent poets include T.S.
