Abstract

This article, Investigating Trends and Research on the Influence of Media in Contemporary Poetry, delves into the dynamic interplay between modern media and poetic expression, focusing on several significant themes that have emerged in recent years. Beginning with an overview of Flarf Poetry, the article explores this avant-garde movement, characterized by its embrace of language from the internet and everyday life, which challenges traditional poetic forms and expands the boundaries of poetic practice. The discussion then shifts to the healing potential of poetry, highlighting how contemporary poets leverage media platforms to create spaces for reflection, resilience, and emotional healing in a fast-paced digital world. Additionally, the impact of personal narratives is examined, illustrating how poets draw from lived experiences and social media to construct authentic voices that resonate with diverse audiences. Finally, the article addresses the rise of visual poetry, where text and imagery converge, reflecting the multifaceted nature of modern communication and aesthetics. Through this comprehensive analysis, the article demonstrates how contemporary poetry is not only a reflection of societal changes but also a vital medium for processing experiences and fostering connections in an increasingly interconnected world.
