Could anyone lead me on what the current threads in poetry are?
After having read and studied Rimbaud and Pound I am convinced that another poetical leap is quite near impossible; that such a leap requires overmanly effort.
I believe I hold the Orphic egg inside me.

Don't worry about what is current unless you really want to get into the heavy-handed theory-laden poetry that is contemporarily written, focusing on the same political issues you see blasted on your snapchat news daily (minority rights, oppression, feminism, the environment, etc.). Develop a poetical voice and keep writing what you feel it is important that you say. Don't seek to break beyond the vanguard until you already have a poetical vision and some good verse under your belt.

The leap beyond symbolist and surrealist poetry was made back in the 20th century buddy. It's called lettrist poetry; a leap beyond the confines of semantic meaning into a pure form without codified signification, pure movement.
