Modern Verse Discussed by Geoffrey Moore
Geoffrey Moore, visiting English professor, traced the development of English and American modern verse and gave a survey of the works of Stephen Spender, Ezra Pound, and other contemporary poets in his lecture on "the appreciation of modern verse," last night in Strong auditorium.
The English poet Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot greatly influenced the development of modern verse both in England and America, Mr. Moore said. The poets' interest in symbolism and conversation brought mixed feelings into verse. They brought realism into poetry and used the small things of life as subjects for poems, Mr. Moore said.
Imagery is a basic characteristic of modern poetry, Mr. Moore said. In modern poetry the language of common speech is used, and efforts are made to create new rhythms as the expression of new moods. There is absolute freedom in the choice of subject matter and a growing interest in the metaphysical, he said.
More obscure poetry is being written now than has been written in any other period. Mr. Moore said. The reason for this is the difference in the age. Verse comes from men who are sensitive to the spirit of their times, and this is an inquiring age, he said.
It is similar to turning over a stone and finding a great contrast on the other side, he said. The knowledge of the contrast of good and evil in the modern age helps to build great literature, Mr. Moore concluded.
