Features: This book centers on two core questions: one is to explore the origins of modern poetic theory, and the other is to examine the trends in contemporary poetic writing theory. Typical discussions include The Origins of the Nine-Leaf School Criticism Theory for the former and Several New Possibilities of Poetry Writing in the 21st Century for the latter. Around these two central themes, the book also explores how modern poetry inherits the excellent traditions of classical poetry, the issue of realism in poetry, the essence of poetry, what kind of person a poet is, how poetic scholarship unfolds, how the American Language Poetry School writes, the mainstream of 20th-century avant-garde poetry, the crises of certain contemporary creative methods and postmodern evaluation standards, and whether poetry has a future and in the future. Finally, it includes 250 original explanations of important poetic theory terms, connecting these theoretical concepts and terms into a dazzling historical gallery of 20th-century poetic theory. In summary, this book focuses on strategic, comprehensive, and forward-looking issues in poetic theory, interpreting and elaborating on them with a thorough and insightful writing style.
