Essays / Essay ideas for a poetry criticism class? [2]
Hi,
I've studied poetry and made a research about Apollinaire - French famous modern poet - when I was in high school. My research was about "The modern city in the XXth century : Guillaume Apollinaire and Edward Hopper. I've made a comparison between poetry and paint, they both exalted the modern city, industries, but also the depression, solitude.
The two main texts are : Zone and Le Pont Mirabeau. This main subject is modern city but the text is also modern, a new way to write, inspired of cubism paint, time and space have no signification, critic of the religion, no punctuation.
Baudelaire is also quite famous but harder and more in the classicism. I'd like to share my study but there is written in French. I don't even know if you can translate correctly these poems with the rhymes.
Good luck.
