Modernist Poetics

Modernist poetics refers to a style of poetry from the early 20th century that breaks traditional rules of form, language, and themes to explore new ways of expression. It emphasizes experimentation, fragmented structures, and innovative language to capture complex, subjective experiences and the rapidly changing modern world. Modernist poets often focus on individual perception, ambiguity, and the unconscious, seeking to challenge conventional ideas about meaning and poetry itself. This movement reflects a desire to reflect the uncertainties and complexities of modern life through bold, inventive, and sometimes challenging poetic techniques.
