The Cantos by Ezra Poumd
What's your definition of epic poetry, user?
I suppose it's a matter of a protagonist going on a journey in a long poem with somewhat regular meter. As far as examples go, all the classic ones are allowed, from Homer to Dante to Byron.
And, huh, I just realized that going by this definition Satan is the hero of Paradise Lost. Blake was right after all.
Aniara by Harry Martinson
He is the anti-hero.
Try Nikos Kazantzakis, Ive never read his epic, but it fits your definition
My diary desu
I dont know about epic per say but my poetry has been referred to as ebin on multiple occasions that I can recall off hand
Ebin comment
ebin
thanks guys, I unironically appreciate it, some times some flattering praise is good for the soul, like chicken soup, and such
The Changing Light at Sandover is fantastic and probably not what you're looking for.
The Cantos
Paterson
The Maximus Poems
Omeros
The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You
"A" (Louis Zukofsky)
Gunslinger
Ark (Ronald Johnson)
The Changing Light at Sandover
Not written in the last 100 years, but The Mountain Wreath (1847) is good. Pretty much Serbia/ stronk/remove kebab memes in the 19th century.
>he thinks poetry is still relevant
>he still thinks 'relevant' is relevant.
was it replaced by your plebshit movies?
The play HAMILTON is pretty good.
The Waste Land or the Cantos
The Waste Land is not an epic poem.
Cantos are ''''epic''''' but not epic.
Omeros by the divine Derek Walcott.
yeah the one im working on atm tbqh
Frick da Police by Ricegum
>epic poetry
Blockbusters are modern epic poetry.
>Cantos are ''''epic''''' but not epic.
What the fuck does that even mean
Omeros by Derek Walcott was brilliant
what's it about
Get a load of this pleb
Someone should write an epic poem about the journey of the modem hero Donald Trump
Derek Walcott's Omeros is awesome
>he fell for the Ezra Meme
Homer wannabes need not apply
forgot to link you too
We don't need epic poetry anymore, user.
Not in epic format anymore, but originally it was:
>released ~1992
It's connected with the epics, the Book of the Silver Bough is The Book of Apollos Followers, Hurmanatar is the Red Hero (Vedas bad guy).

Si sta come d'autunno sugli alberi le foglie
There's my epic poem adaptation of tails gets trolled. I don't know if it's true but people tell me I'm some sort of savant
t. Rupi Kaur fanboy
le ezra sucks because he was a fascist xD
Nobody cares about poetry anymore except dirty indians
this is why they are taking over
Something to ponder: is epic poetry, written today, inherently fascist?
Ezra sucks because he wrote retarded Rupi Kaur-tier garbage that only a modernist could even call "poetry."
derek walcott omeros
In Parentheses and The Anathemata by David Jones
Well, if you say so, then I guess it's true.
Epic =/= patriotic
Is there a decent English translation?
