I've never heard of the guy. I found the lecture elegant and charming, albeit vacuous and, sadly, elitist. I'm guessing that he was directed by his anticipated audience who may have known perfectly well why some people find modern poetry difficult and who felt rather pleased that they themselves were not among such peasants. Such an audience would have understood that a poem is an intimate conversation between poet and reader, and that since not all poets will speak to any given reader, as a reader you have to find the poets who do. You don't have to appreciate all poets; just one may be enough, if it's the right one. The good professor's audience would have enjoyed his allusive, personal wandering within the general territory of the question without actually confronting it. However, those whom poets were traditionally addressing, ordinary people, would have received little insight from this comfortable, clever, deft and rather smug piece of oratory. It was a performance, not an answer.

Modern poetry is distasteful, not difficult. There is a reason why contemporary poetry isn't "classic" or legendary.

When modern poetry is difficult (and it very often is) it is because it has moved out of the realms of the countryside bard and migrated to the halls of the university. When one requires a degree or a PhD to comprehend a poem, it becomes a thesis and not a poem. Poetry no longer lives in the public sphere. In our colleges and universities, it is still very much alive - it subsists in small and stuffy rooms over-occupied by academics smugly giggling over brandies at the cleverness of each others’ verse. In short - it is not dead but rather zombified and very much alive in a largely inaccessible limbo.

You don't need a degree. Modern poetry is difficult to comprehend because the problem of comprehension is at its forefront. Crane never graduated high school yet is very difficult to understand whereas Eliot spent many years at Harvard and Oxford and wrote a PhD on F. H. Bradly and is also very difficult to understand. Not to mention that Yeats isn't any easier than Whitman or Homer (if you'd like to compare it to the "countryside bard").

@@eskybakzu712 I think you did not quite get what I was trying say. Poetry need not be understood in order to be comprehended. It is the miscomprehension that bothers me. Misunderstanding something is fine. But the tradition of poetry comprehension has been pulled out of general society, like an unwanted thorn. It has been placed under a microscope and is now analyzed to death by the few, and written about in textbooks that are so deeply analytical that it loses its original intention: something in which everyone partook, from the illiterate twit at the pub, to the brainy pedagogue on campus.

...small and stuffy rooms... academics smugly giggling over brandies... Where, exactly, did you go to school? It sounds like a dreadful experience (as well as a dreadful school) and I am sorry that you had to endure such things as part of your poetic education. I hope that it was good brandy, at least!
