Talk:20th-century lyric poetry

[Untitled]

It seems that the main body of this topic is missing. The first sentence nicely sums up what I assumed this page would cover: "In the early years of the 20th century, rhymed lyric poetry, usually expressing the feelings of the poet, was the dominant poetic form in America, Europe and the British colonies." However, instead of telling us about the poems and poets that made rhymed lyric poetry "the dominant poetic form," the text immediately jumps to a section on "Modernism" and the texts and writers that replaced rhymed lyric poetry. Should a section on early 20th century lyric poets be added? (Vince Emery 23:59, 6 April 2014 (UTC))

Call it "20th century lyric poetry in English" or broaden the scope. I count one non-English poet.

20th century to 20th-century

Would there be any objection to moving this article to 20th-century lyric poetry? Since 20th and century are working together as a compound adjective before the noun poetry, it should be hyphenated. 20th century lyric poetry would remain as a redirect to the new title. If there's a consensus, or at least no objection, I'll make the move in about a week. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 01:12, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
