heard in every day conversation is the word “modern”. Everything has to be modern in the 21st century: modern technology and books and clothes, nobody wants the old stuff anymore because it is not worth as much as what is around now. Modern poetry is: “For artists and writers, the Modernist project was a re-evaluation of the assumptions and aesthetic values of their predecessors” (http://www.poetryfoundation.org/learning/glossary-term/Modernism).

shaped the writing style of modern day poetry a bit, but few have done so much as Robert Frost has in the ways of influencing today’s poetry.

By analyzing this great poet, one can only hope to discover the true, raw meaning of the written words that have had a lasting impact on the views and, more importantly, on the world of poetry.

Taking a broad view at one of Wallace Stevens’s poems shows clues that Stevens believes in Heraclitus’s theory. One poem in particular, “Of Modern Poetry,” is a good example of Wallace Stevens work because it is about the subject matter of poetry (Gallagher https://pfeiffer.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com. pfeiffer.idm.oclc.org/docview/216773018?accountid=13172).

six tenets, which taken literally produced a poetry that had several faults. Eliot remedied those faults and ushered in a new poetic from which is what we now call “Modern Poetry”.

Modernism by definition is “a style or movement in the arts that aims to depart significantly from classical and traditional forms”. A movement which is undoubtedly a reflection of the fragmented and collapsing Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, Modernism was a reaction to the world in which it existed.
