Modern, when it is used in relation to art, almost always means "that era 40-60
years ago." Case in point: poetry. In the 50s the "modern" era of poetry meant the
Romantics, ie Blake, Coleridge, Keats, Byron, etc. Today, the "modern" poets are
the those who wrote in the 20s & 30s such as Eliot, Pound, Cummings, William
Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, Marianne Moore, etc. By the time we reach 2020
maybe the highly touted writers of the 50s and 60s will be considered "modern."
My whole point to this is the terms "modern" and "post-modern" are rediculously
subjective. So why even bother?
