>Everything past the 19th century is pure garbage

Probably the worst, most uninformed opinion I've ever seen on this goddamn board

I know. He's a complete pleb to think that there is anything worth reading past the 16th century.

The greatest poet since Shakespeare wrote in the 20th century.
There were many great poets from the 20th.

>The greatest poet since Shakespeare wrote in the 20th century.
And who do you think that is? Pound? Bukowski? O'Hara, Neruda? Eliot?

Please, do tell.

Lemme guess, you actually enjoy reading Wordsworth and Swinburne. Notice, I didn't say that all poetry before the 19th century was bad, just that it's stupid to say that everything past it is shit

Name some post-WWI poets that are good. Go ahead.

>>8937814
As in born post-WWI or poems written post WWI?

Because if you're using WWI as your cut off for good poetry you're going to miss our on Eliot, Pound, E.E. Cummings...

>Eliot, Pound, E.E. Cummings...
Listen, I know your profs and university syllabus' say this is good modernist literature etc, but let me tell you, it's pretentious trash written by untalented writers hiding behind a wall of ambiguity, opaqueness, allusions, and gimmickery.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but you're merely a parrot sqawking the idiot faux-literarti canon.

Paul Valéry
Robert Desnos isn't too bad
Gaston Miron does free verse pretty decently

Probably a few good ones in the non anglo word that I don't know, but yea I agree with you, very few good poets past WW1. How about you help us in mocking rupi kaur?
