Question

Contemporary poets and poetry, dating from roughly the post WWII era of the 1950s, includes a

range of experimental and experiential forms of poetry, much of which confounds those readers
who recognize only the traditional closed forms of poetry.
A.True
B.False

Answer 1

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is true.

Contemporary poetry (also known as free verse) is a type of poetry that appeared around the 1950s (however, some say that it appeared as early as the start of the 1920s). Some traits of contemporary poetry are:

• inconsistent meter
• irregular rhyme scheme
• the varying length of lines
• inconsistent regard for standard poetic structure

This type of poetry confounds those who recognize only the traditional closed forms of poetry.
