Does the absense of tradition rhyme and meter and everything else "free up" the poem, or does it result in an absolute spew of maniacal random bullshit from every tumblrina and everyone's mothers?
Started thinking about this when I read through a local review and saw the most mundane shit being published because it looked cool and e e cummings-esque but it completely lacked any of his substance; the poet seemingly indented words at random.

Yeah just by seeing the word sjw i guess i can know the poor excuse of a twat that is speaking to me
other than that it's a pretty smart observation minus the whole "red pilled" view yeah i see your critical point of view
I think it frees up the poem. As a result of historic preservation, most bad verse has been weeded out. We're reading in our time works of varying quality because the judgement of time has not weeded out the failed new forms. I think trying to weigh metered and un metered poetry against eachother is useless in determining the quality of poetry today.

If you aren't able to see it you're as fucked as they.
Good luck getting your ass raped.
