Modernist Poetry
|
|
|
Poetry seems to have placed itself in all worlds in some frame or another. ... These two poets explored the gruesome realities of death; poetry throughout history has been, at the very least, paradoxical. Although there are unquestionably a number of time periods in which one can find the paradoxes of poetry, nowhere throughout the past period are they more evident than in the poetry of the modernist poets.
After carefully researching modernist poetry, it has become apparent that poets from the European and United States are alike in the way that they often diverged on their opinions of the world. ... The modernist is ensnared between two worlds: one lifeless and one incapable of being born.
Comparing the poetry of both Yeats and Elliot, it seems at first that neither poet has much in common. While Yeats preferred to write a majority of his poetry in systematic form—following both rhyme and meter schemes. ... Another noted difference is that Yeats’ poetry is lyrical in nature, Eliot’s poetry is more firmly bound in the language that it employs. ... In close analysis of their poetry it is very obvious that these two poets are troubled souls that are caught between two worlds. ... …
When comparing both Williams and Frost, similarities can be found in how they write poetry. ...
While it is true that most of Frost’s poetry is weighed down with portrait like images, the reality is that Frost is not describing nature, he is describing some dark reality for man. ...
In conclusion the poets of the Modernist period were quite skillful at saying one thing while meaning another. ... Instead, they chose to shield their fears and contempt for the world in their poetry. For the readers who understood their poetry and the dichotomies of what they described was quite clear; on the other hand the readers who had no real idea of the depth of the poetry thought it to just be pretty.
