Oh my God, yes. Free verse has made poetry shit. I've never read a good poem without a clear metrical pattern.

no
that would castrate it
that is not what it is attempting
you must become more critical
more open to the many flows of life and its musics
form is necessary
and the breaking of form can only come in the context of an extensive knowledge of form
op's pic and her ilk do not understand this
neither did Bukowski (tho he had an inkling of it)

The thing is, poets like Whitman didn't simply abandon all the constraints of poetry. The first free verse poetry often had its own, subtler, poetic technique and usage of poetic devices which made it effective. Whitman's has a lot of repetition for instance.

I have always regarded the Beat poets as the ones who really unleashed bad free verse. But the social context now is quite different.

Today there is a tendency to sacrilize work done by LGBT, women, ethnic minorities, etc. As if they have the secrets to life. It seems part cognitive bias, part zeal.

It reminds me of how (prior to mass literacy) the works of certain writers and saints were regarded as authoritative, and repeatedly scribed, and their instructions on various subjects were obeyed. We are simply supposed to believe that the authorial identity itself validates and uplifts a work artistically.

The bottom line is really that there is nothing in instagram poetry or poetry slams or school/university teaching of poetry that demands poets master the use of poetic devices.

This is in contrast to poetry as it is deployed in music, advertising, and maybe even business and politics... which must use certain poetic devices for practical purposes in order to survive and prosper.

The Beat poets still had rhythm though, just compare Howl to a Rupi poem the difference is obvious. I'm tempted to suggest that the reason modern free-verse sucks is that people fucking forgot poetry was about SOUND, it's fucking music not just funny-looking prose.

because its easy and requires the bare minimum of effort which makes it attractive to dumb roasties and minorities ("Anyone can be a poet!")

It's from the Fugitive Poets school (Laura Riding is the specific poetess of that poem)
check them out, they all had a similar style to start due to there communal method
here is a poem by one of the main members from later in his career
