<h3>What is modern poetry about?</h3>
Modern poetry is a stage of poetry that emerged in the transition between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. During this time, poets began to write about different topics than those usually included in poetry, such as love, lack of love, illusion, motivation, beauty, nature, among others.
In replacement of the previous themes, the poets began to write based on facts of reality and events of international impact such as world wars, famine, poverty, economic crises, among others.
According to the above, it can be inferred that the themes that modern poets did not include in their poems are the alienation of man from the modern world because that theme is a more contemporary current of thought that emerged towards the middle or end of the 20th century. .
