Sometimes I try to imagine poetry as a history of human thought and the longing for what would have been if the most fertile ideas of the human imagination were converted into reality. The long, colorful course of world poetry has been a struggle against mental weakness and the temptation to surrender to subjective, self induced chaos. In the twentiest century, poetry lost.
But things are changing. Poets are discovering that they no longer need to be chained to modern and postmodern ideas. They have woken up to find themselves living in a world of beauty, order, and meaning, despite the hardest efforts of Academia to convince them otherwise. For many years right-thinking poets were beaten down by college professors, but now college professors themselves are irrelevent: the victims of their own movement.
And now the internet has set us free.
It’s time for something new in poetry: a rebellion so bold and simplistic that it will erode the dampening effect of modernist propoganda on the lives of our children. It’s time to put the pen and ink back in the hands of those who are willing to write with it in such a way as befitting a poet.
