How to evaluate modern poetry
As literary works, there are great differences, even essential differences, between poems, essays and novels. Simply put, prose expresses the author's feelings, thoughts and views on the outside world. Novels are the experiences of characters, and these things are expressed through words. A string of words has no meaning in itself. When they are combined and perceived by readers as a whole, they gain value. At this time, the text has become the author's tool and the carrier of meaning. Therefore, when judging essays and novels, we should first consider what value the author wants to express when writing them. Good creativity and accurate and beautiful words constitute a good work, and consciousness is the fundamental purpose of the work.
But what is modern poetry? Its author breaks away from the meaning world composed of words and looks down and appreciates them. Just when we came to the big garden, we stared at every blooming flower carefully. At this time, the author became a gardener, collecting all kinds of flowers he liked and weaving beautiful patterns. As for what this pattern represents, he doesn't care.
Modern poetry is also composed of words that the author thinks are beautiful and pleasant to hear, and each word gives people a good feeling. Perhaps there are various values and meanings endowed by people behind them, but this ingenious combination has no meaningful support, and the whole they form does not represent a certain meaning or value. It's like the same song. Notes make up a beautiful melody, but they don't point to a specific meaning. The key is to be friendly. No wonder poetry and songs have been formed into a word by others: poetry. Obviously, writing itself has become the purpose of modern poetry.
Therefore, to evaluate a modern poem, we should see whether it can give us a natural aesthetic feeling, and then its meaning and value can be freely endowed by readers.
