 Poetry
For the poet a sense of wonder is prerequisite to afford the possibility of the displacement of language into fresh response.
The limits of the poetry of any age come not from things the poets perceived but were unable to attain (that would be failures of craft), but rather from the things they never thought to include or never thought of value to their art.
Poets can help accomplish this by bearing in mind the influences of how they live on what they write, and of what they write on how their readers live.

 poetrymagazines.org.uk - Review
Noting that Rennie Parker has written a study of the Georgian poets it’s a great temptation to start placing her own poems in that category.
It’s true that she writes about landscape and rural subjects, and quite a few of the Georgian poets did that, and she seems to aim for “short, self-contained lyrical pieces,” which is how one critic described Georgian poetry.
There are a few poems where the language does show signs of an immersion in the writings of those earlier poets, but their brevity and clarity works in their favour and they settle alongside those with a sharper, more-modern tone.

Chiefly, Modernist literature is characterised by a rejection of 19th century traditions, and of their consensus between reader and author: the convention of realism was abandoned by novelists as poets rejected traditional metres in favour of free verse.

 BORIS LEONIDOVICH PASTERNAK
As a poet in post-revolutionary Soviet Russia, he had to walk a very delicate line between obeying the dictates of the all-encompassing State and those of his own artistic conscience.
Pasternak, and the other artists of the day, did their best to make art serve life as they saw it in a world where art was to exist only to serve the Revolution.
But the poet Osip Mandelstam -- himself sent off to die in a Soviet Gulag in the Far East for writing a sarcastic ditty about Stalin -- remarked that Russia is the only country where poets die for and through their art.
