- Abstract
The present paper analyses the poetic trends manifested by the 21st century poets. It focuses on the traits of the genre, highlighting the great range of poetic forms manifested nowadays all over the world. The fragmentation of poetic culture and tradition, the division into innumerable subcultures is analysed in the context of digitalization, of heightened online connections established at the level of literary societies and clubs. The works of some acknowledged authors are cited in order to prove the novelty brought forth by poets who are contemporary with us. The paper also raises the issues of the validity and the relevance of contemporary poetry, as well as the struggle for establishing a poetic canon. Digital and technological accessibility are also looked upon as influencing factors in the distribution of poetic verse. Contemporary poetry is greatly influenced and enhanced by the establishment of poetic manifestations, such as competitions, public readings and workshops. Creative writing is analysed in the context of more and more creative writing schools that have produced freelance writers and published authors worldwide, irrespective of country, social or political background. Creative writing takes the process of writing poetry to a next level, and the arguments and counterarguments towards it are minutely addressed in this paper.
