Finally, a poetess who admires Edna St. Vincent Millay!

It is he who would dare to confess When the nation laid in a wasted mess. Make it great again said he, make it more Make it golden, what was it forsaken for? Forsaken for woke and the token appeals To all of the misery from broken “ideals” On altars of acronyms and deals new and green, There they worshipped, and the view was obscene. Abandoned values tradition was squandered Like blind fools into sedition they wanderered. On walls there was writing he called a spade a spade. No mincing of words, and America great was made. The deplorables and garbage, made up a team, And pursued with more fervour the American dream.

Thank you mr Andrew for your wonderful cultural literary channel. As I read right now about writing of iambic pentameter, you need to use five iamb in each line, so each line must be ten syllables in total . The rules of iambic pentameter composed of ten syllables arranged in five metrical feet ( iambs) , each of which consists of unstressed syllable followed by stressed syllable. Examples of iambic pentameter my heart aches and rowgy numbness pains by John Keats ode to nightingale. One truth is clear what is right by Alexander pop essay on man epistle.

Another beautifully done video. I like the Saint-Saëns at the end as well as the classy yet much-needed burn of Rupi Kaur. Where I think the video really succeeds, though, is that it knows its niche audience and cautions against pitfalls particular to it.

Your exposition is remarkably thorough for 12 minutes. This is a very good and beautifully done introduction to perhaps the most important poetic form in the western tradition.

Read "Ars Poetica" by Polish-Lithuanian poet Czesław Miłosz. In short, he wrote that in the centre of art, there is something "indecent" and that rhymes and rhythms place poets and readers through "agony" trying to emotionally offload themselves in such restrictions. He wrote that art is dictated by an ancient Greek "daimonion" (like the muses) and that poetry should be written "rarely and reluctantly" out of (emotional) necessity that "good spirits and not the evil ones" use the poet as an instrument.

Forgotten Lord forgotten Father Help me trod through troubled water. Help me dodge the demon's slaughter, Help me find a noble daughter. May the groom find his bride May the tomb be set aside That many years of peace may reign In this world of toil and pain. Forgotten Father forgotten Lord Help me find my shield and sword. Help me cleave unto thy word And keep my ship to heaven moored.

Thank you mr Andrew for your wonderful cultural literary channel. We appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level, improve our English as well and , literature lovers too. First of all I looked up for meaning of unorthodoxy means different from what usual or except . Emily Dickinson American poet is known for her unusual poetic line and her her use of unorthodox grammar. Majority of her poems are composed in short stanza , along with some longer rhyme scheme that can be considered slant of rhymes .

Great info. Once these forms become established they have tremendous potential: you mentioned in passing Meredith's 16 line sonnet - this was brilliantly exploited in the C20th by Tony Harrison whose sonnets in this form are sometimes genius level writing.

Hi, I also write sonnets, and am as good as Shakespeare. Please send me a link or email address whereby I can send through samples of my sonnets.....wrote two hundred of them. It will be a shame for them not to find a home. PS: I didn't joke or boast, I am as good any masters of the past where the sonnet artform is concerned. I think I have mastered it.

Fab graphics and insightful commentary

Nice poem

His epic poetry is actually good..coherent and shooting straight, unlike our typical modern-day or, should we say, post-truth poetry where you dont know what the poet is murmuring about..."in a verbal masturbation that has no relationship with reality."

I love how Petrarchan sonnets use the octave and sestet to explore deep emotions.

Nicholas Korn’s Wild Sonnets project started in 2016 and keeps growing-so inspiring!

Thanks, Mr. Andrew, for your amazing cultural literary channel!

Ah, I love Don Paterson. My goodness, you have exceptional video editing skills, love the way you create these videos: provocative & engaging. Have you read the verse translations of Homer by Fagels & Emily Wilson, or Heaney's verse translation of 'Beowulf', or Anne Carsons' verse translations of Greek Tragedy? I think there is a lot of very good modern narrative verse. You could also have a look at Les Murray's monumental verse-novel, 'Fredy Neptune'. Verse novels are quite a booming success story within modern verse. Thanks for another wonderful video. You always give me much to ponder.

Inspiring stuff ✨ Congratulations, on success of your UA-cam channel! Onwards, upwards 👏🏼

For those coming here from the SCP Newsletter, I posted the wrong link. It was supposed to be this one about 800 years of the Sonnet: ua-cam.com/video/B9aMXFVpFEk/v-deo.html That said, the one above is good too! -Evan Mantyk SCP Editor

I’m looking to read The Odyssey and also The Iliad in poem, which translation do you recommend reading ?

Do you have an email? I’d like to email you my poems.😊

Great poem

Well done, Andrew. It begs the question though, can anything be called a sonnet? Could we call the haiku or tanka a Japanese sonnet? I think 14 lines has to be a sticking point as defining a sonnet. Or maybe there is another perspective on this.

Very enjoyable video, love the way you create this overview video, engaging & insightful. I especially enjoyed your three contemporary examples, & that Tweedie sonnet - wow! I'll certainly be looking him up. I want a lot more. I really enjoyed your haiku sonnets also, what fun play with form, very memorable.

Thank you mr Andrew for your wonderful cultural literary channel. There are American poet Nicholas korn have channel ( wild sonnets ) . He posts weekly read from his book collection volume v11 ( 601- 700) . His project of wild sonnets began since 2016 . As I read The features of Anglo American sonnet fourteen lines divided into two sections by Volta or turning point, it’s consisting of 14 unrhymed lines , with lines containing at least ten syllabic sounds . As all of us know format of sonnet traditionally, it’s has fourteen lines of iambic pentameter linked by intricate rhyme scheme . Shakespearean sonnet usually end with rhyming couplet. Ab Ab cd cd E f E f G g , this means first and third lines must rhyme , second and fourth lines must rhyme. There are 2 mainly types of sonnet Petrarchan sonnet, or Italian sonnet. In Petrarchan sonnet section are broken up into eight octave ( first eight lines ) and sester ( final six lines ) . Sonnet can be used to convey wide range of emotions and ideas , love and romance are prominent themes in many sonnets.

True

Liked this very much. It has been my contention that the last poet in the English language of any worth was Dylan Thomas, and he died in the fifties. I'd probably take issue with some of your choices, as I might retain all of Stevens, all of Hart Crane, some Whitman, a little of Pound, and a little of Williams from the lineage you describe... but I like the thesis very much, have long considered myself to be a 'non-modernist poet', and hope very much people take notice of what you're saying. (I'd also absolutely concur with you re; most or all of English language poetry since WWII. Let us not forget however that - on the level of being thinkers - Williams and Pound included economic ideas in their poetry that were incredibly prophetic for what became known on the internet in the 21st century, regardless of how one feels about their political views.)

Very adept use of images... scheduled for SCP website on Oct. 29.

I say to kids and adults alike: slow, loud, and clear. I have a full video on open mic performances on my YT. Love your advice. Let the words have mouth and ear pleasure!

I gathered main theme of poem and poet biography briefly here it’s Susan Jarvis Bryant is originally from uk but , now lives on coastal plains of Texas . She has poetry published on society of classical poets , light ten upon line . I read recent article written on August 17 2024 Roy E. Peterson mentioned this poem is filled with gender bending faults of human , featured in our present day of feckless failing culture that must indeed leave satan in awe . Hope of truth emerging is thread which is which as aptly. In same article Cynthia Erlandson said about poem idea of people being able to out do Lucifer is very creative point of view would have occurred to me . Actually reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English as none native speakers. I hope I can learn a lot from your knowledge. Happy Halloween in advance. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

I think many normal people also read Carl Sandburg. I would say fairly equal to Robert Frost... Also, I think there is a lot more to explore in what you are saying. There are many variables.

So good to see recognition for an actual technically accomplished poet writing in classical meter. I've come here having just read Brian's latest offering in the Society of Classical Poets The Wasteland 2028 - an admonition to anyone thinking of voting for Kamala Harris, and posed as a set of seven Shakespearean sonnets shorn of the concluding heroic couplets.

Henry Knox (1750-1806) was the U.S. Secretary of War under Washington and served in the Continental Army, notably in the Battle of Trenton. He became a reader after leaving school to support his family. Fort Knox in Kentucky is named after him. Your dedication to improving your English is impressiv

Does poetry need defending? Very probably, yes. But not in the same way opera and classical music do. We poets write as birds sing - it is spontaneous and necessary for life, and our mediums are not a product of any one time or place. Thank you for sharing your gifts and deep knowledge (didn't know Chaucer came up with end rhymes and iambic pentameter!)

I share many of your anxieties & obsessions, I write in predominately free-verse, but agree that writing MUST be slow, highly edited, rich in technique, allusion & imagery, & enriched by the literary past. I am not in an easy relationship with contemporary modish university dominated experimental/political verse. I think we have much in common, not everything, but much that matters. Thank you for the passion to express & agitate for what matters!

I'm In!!!

While I agree with everything Mr. Sale said, I must point out Dylan Thomas was a master free verse poet! He was my poet role model when I was teen. Before I understood what exactly drew me to his verse, his control of language, rhythm, pacing, and flow trained my ear like none other could. I credit Thomas and Shakespeare for providing me with a musical, lyrical education sorely missing in poetry today.

Excellent prognosis

1] cut silly visuals. 2] give links

This video is actually very subjective, biased, and with a self-centered perpective. This so-called analysis is at most an exmaple of cherry-picking, as it erases the influcence WWII and the emergence of postmodernism. Particularly, postmodernism indicated a major shift from formalism (focus of forms) to the expression of human suffering and humanist concerns. This shift has been expressed in all major disciplines of arts. Labelling them as "self-centered" is actually very narrow-minded, self-centering (ironically), and shows a lack of the basic skill contextulization. (Shaking my head-people actually believe in this just because the video mentioned some big words and "ism"?)

exposure is indeed key. I guess we can't be self-effacing, as Theresa rightly suggests! Thanks for posting :)

this channel is such a treasure. remarkable effort and direction in championing traditional verse - empowering poets across the states/world. Theresa Werba's rise of fall is quite good - yes to the petrarchan sonnet .. and certainly i agree .. poetry must PERFORMED. i used to do open mic at kick butt coffee in austin (and i always did traditional poetry ... memorized it.) people loved wordsworth etc .. . i have eliot's major works devoted to memory including the entirety of the wasteland! (but not four quartets)

Doing the Lord's work with your channel ... Subscribed a while back and have not been disappointed with your level-headed outlook on the current poetic culture. Thanks again!

I gathered main information about famous figure you mentioned Henry Knox (1775- 1806) he was secrecy of war under president Washington. He faced tragic events as he joined rebellious son of liberty as artillery outfit called train , he even formed sister unit . He served alongside with general George Washington in American revolution and as first secretary of war . He is famous for his service in American revolution including battle of Trenton. He lived hard life when his father died . He quit school to support help family. He became clerk in bookstore. He was avid reader . Namesake Fort Knox in Kentucky. Iam so sorry to be little long but reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English as non native speakers. In the past only travel aboard or looking for books to learn new information. Nowadays UA-cam channels as open universities for every one, google is our library. I hope I can learn a lot from your knowledge. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .

Wonderful speaker, that publisher world is so harsh. I just love very musical poetry.

I am very interested in this, ive written many stanzas in quantitative verse and classical forms. I am also going into writing in latin. Coiran is boss also. I literally put in a cover page bio of a submission that my goal was "surpass Virgil".
