Modern poetry after modernism reflects a complex evolution from the innovative ruptures of early 20th-century modernist poets to a more pluralistic and experimental landscape. James Longenbach, in his critical explorations, emphasizes how postmodern and contemporary poets grapple with the legacy of modernism—embracing fragmentation, intertextuality, and irony while also seeking renewed forms of lyricism and meaning. This period is marked by a negotiation between tradition and innovation, where poets often engage with diverse voices, media, and cultural discourses to expand the boundaries of poetic expression beyond the strict formalism or thematic confines that characterized earlier modernist works.
