Modern muse of poetry and reality

Before any man visited by the muse of poetry and who composes verses in the 21st century, especially if he is inclined to see in it something more than meaningless fun, the question eventually arises: what should modern poetry be to defend its right to exist and Do not look stupid in the age of technocracy?

Philology views this kind of creativity as the art of creating an artistic image in the structure of melodic and rhythmically organized speech, which gives the text a certain ability of suggestive and emotional impact on the listener or reader. But what value, except for the museum, this elegant literature can represent for the modern cultural space filled with 3D graphics and information technology? Of course, we are primarily concerned with modern poetry - Russian and foreign, which, thanks to the existence of an excellent translation school, reflects the entire poetic space of mankind.

With a glance at the counters of bookstores and relevant websites covering the situation on the web, one can believe that modern poetry is not only published on the Internet, but also published on paper. But the reader, like the muse of poetry, will be disappointed immediately after selective acquaintance with the texts, filled with banal tongue-tied speech, casting a melancholy neo-ethical and timeless.

Introduction of the reader about contemporary poetry

Often you can face the fact that the one who declared about the inconsistency of modern poetry, they say: "Yes you! Here such-that writes perfectly! Keep the link - read! "But there is the creativity of one of the many" elves, "and rhyme something that does not know how, but pretends that he is regularly visited by the muse of lyrical poetry and dictates masterpieces of poetic thought.

But the whole catastrophe of the situation in which poetry turned out today becomes clear much later, when it turns out that readers have no idea of the existence of really interesting and original poets, living now, but not because they do not exist. The poetry muse is still visiting people - and there are really wonderful creators, but few of the readers are able to recall at least one text in which, at some decent level, the reappraisal of what happened after the collapse of the Soviet Union and what is happening now. One gets the impression that the worldview of modern man is quite capable of displaying humorous verses, advertising slogans and pop songs, filled with simple everyday life and vulgarity.

Modern poetry and reality

The thinking person well understands that the post-Soviet space has been in the hands of cynical tempers for the past ten years, which, regardless of their ideological convictions, consider the strengthening of the foundations of the national self-consciousness unnecessary and even harmful. But poetry, like all other arts, refers to these very foundations, along with fundamental science and education. The muse of poetry and scientific thought are mutually complementary: the former helps the second to gain the power of persuasion and intelligibility of the formulation, thus becoming knowledge. Being an integral part of knowledge that can reveal the true essence of things, the poetic word also has high mobilization activity: history knows many cases when a poem or song became a companion of people's outrage or other social process.

Thus, the development of poetry is necessary in the same way as the development of science. First and foremost, it is required for the leader, who is going to lead into a bright future, but is absolutely counter-indicative to the temporary workers. Unfortunately, the modern poet is degraded from the key hierarchs of knowledge to fairy-tale conjurers, who are sometimes visited by the muse of love poetry, but nothing more. I want to believe that modern self-awareness will sooner acute feel the lack of a poetic word, and this art will be rehabilitated.
