Research Topic:

Compare two modern (20th century or later) free verse or open-form poems with two traditional poems in recognized poetic forms, such as sonnet, ode, elegy, or ballad, from before the 20th century. In a well-crafted essay, refer to our lecture on poetry and to the textbook, and consider the following questions.

Do modern open-form poems extend or argue with the traditions of the poems from the past? Or do they do both?

What relationship does historical context have to the forms of the various poems?

In what ways do these poems demonstrate the evolution of poetry?
