Dear Doug,
Please excuse the ignorance, but why should we all learn to be postmodern?
Or rather, what is so wrong with not being postmodern?
Doubtless this has been covered previously, but I remain confused. I don't
seem to grasp postmodernism and my attempts at poetry generally remain
firmly traditional as I struggle with both rhyme and rhythm. Would such
writing be resolutely unfashionable? Is it better to write the type of
poetry that the writer is comfortable with, or is there an imperative to
create (post)modern work for a (post)modern age?
Confused
