American Poetry Today
This roundtable brings together contemporary poets to discuss the evolving nature, role, and significance of poetry today, considering its relationship to other forms of communication and expression such as fiction, journalism, and film. Framed by reflections from figures such as Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams, the discussion explores how modern poetry engages with diverse aesthetic, sociopolitical, and psychological concerns, and what unique forms of meaning, perception, and experience it offers in an age of media saturation and rapid cultural change.
