Discussion Question for speakers of languages other than English

[Deleted member 28903]

Is good poetry is still written in your language or is it a dead art like it is in English? I seriously don't think there has been a single English poet after Ezra Pound that is worth reading. Most of it is so bad that reading it actually makes me angry. Like the person who wrote it is insulting me, or perhaps they are insulting art itself. @Jungle @Idlevillagercel how is modern Spanish poetry?

You're asking the wrong people man

The modern age killed poetry.
Imagine having an artistic vision to create a poem and having others sharing the same vision with you to enjoy it. In the same age that Tiktok and Instagram exist.
It's impossible.

Nope, I've rarely seen nor heard poetry in my local radio/media anymore. It's dead.
