https://www.thesmartset.com/world-books/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=world-books A magazine of arts & culture from Drexel University Fri, 16 Feb 2024 16:43:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 https://www.thesmartset.com/world-books/#comment-432 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 05:41:08 +0000 https://www.thesmartset.com/?p=7527#comment-432 Numerous and obvious counterexamples exist for just about every statement made in this article. T. S. Eliot wrote a drama in blank verse, Joyce took on Homer himself, Pound called his major book-length poem the Cantos (ring a bell?) Etc. But in an article that suggests a poet combine the speechless forms of mime and dance, I guess I don’t what I could possibly expect. Certainly not any real insight into Modernism.

It is a mistake to think such creations are not being made, just because their writers may be invisible to a wide public.
