Looking for inspiration and ideas on writing a modern epic poem. Same epic theme as Gilgamesh or the Odyssey but more relatable. Any help appreciated!

Do you read lyric poetry? If not, read lyric poetry, and epic cannot be written without the lyric.
add a character named jimmy who has a brother named timmy

Omeros is a good place to start.

Yeah some, I'm more concerned with the subject and how to fit it into a modern setting rather than the style though, but thanks :)

If you're not concerned with the style you need to write a novel.

I've read some Derek Walcott but never Omeros, good idea
