Boom! Welcome to a new miniseries on the collapse of poetry in the West. We’ve all heard people complain about why modern poetry sucks, but they never discuss the causal factors of why it happened. I don’t get to talk about poetry much on YouTube because people don’t care about it, but I know more about 20th-century poetry than 20th-century fiction, philosophy, or psychology.
So, today, we will focus on a group that escapes scrutiny in surface-level takes on the subject
The Academic Versifiers
The OG logic bros of poetry
The talented cowards
The shadow poetasters
or whatever name you and your friends call them on Saturday nights during your poetry readings ;)
