thank you for making this video ive been searching everywhere for something like this 😭 i can only learn things when theyre development is explained in chronological order so this is such a life saver ive been wanting to learn poetic mechanisms and genres for so long now would love to see sort of like an updated version of this video i think that’d be really cool
As others have said, Gilgamesh was not Greek. Furthermore, and I know this video is old, but you really should change it to reflect what you are actually talking about. That is, a brief history of western poetry.
There are poets who use pieces of all these elements to create 1poem. Use the 1st stanza as a sonnet, 2nd stanza free verse, 3rd more of slam, and end by using haiku
Hay thanks , but you have missed a great deal of history of poetry , the Arabian Poetry , an amazing poetry that was a very deep and advanced compared to even the later poetry , they were in years 400-600 , and because they were so good , they hang them in the Kabaah , The Seven Odes
"Dead British white guys" just couldn't help yourself I guess. Info was decent besides the gilgamesh slip-up but made me roll my eyes with the comment I quoted.
Slam poetry and hip hop...not going there. You forgot to mention poets like William Stafford and James Wright and many others who were writing during the Sixties. Many unknown poets too were important, for example, Benjamin Saltman annd Bert Meyers, but countless others. Some published by small presses. The poem is important, not waving one's arms about calling attention to the person and not the poem. Personally, I can't stand performance poetry. You also failed to mention important poets like W.S. Merwin.
ur historical explanation is wrong i want to understand why u jumped thousand years of poetry why u didn't mention the arabs poetry without arabs poetry won't not exist

Gilgamesh was not Greek. It was the Sumerians who have the oldest epic, not the Greeks.
Epic of Gilgamesh is not Greek. It’s Mesopotamian/Sumerian.
They like to claim everything
A superb video. Packed with information, well presented and devoid of gimmicks. Thank you.

Gilgamesh is the epic of the King Gilgamesh of Uruk. It's definitely not western.

One woman and forgot Rimbaud.
You bring up the Beat poets and don't mention Burroughs? And congrats, that dead white men line earned you a dislike.
Really Eurocentric and Anglocentric
