Exploring Place and Space in Contemporary Poetry: A Study of Urban Landscapes

Abstract

This research paper examines the representation of urban landscapes in contemporary poetry, focusing on how poets articulate the interplay of place and space within metropolitan environments. By analyzing a selection of works from diverse poets, this study seeks to understand the emotional and sociopolitical dimensions that urban settings evoke in contemporary poetic discourse. Through a qualitative approach, this paper highlights themes of alienation, identity, and belonging, contributing to a broader understanding of how urban landscapes shape human experiences.
