RE: Poetry Sunday: We All Sing America Now
I don't disagree with any of that. As a group, however, I don't think the New Formalists are any more humble than any other poet. They just know how to rhyme. ;-)
@blockurator,
I know I'm not. :-)
I will say this. While I write primarily in free verse (but certainly not always), when I do, I often incorporate formalist poetics into them. Most people probably don't notice, or don't recognize it. I'm a big proponent of learning the techniques that poets have always used.
