摘要

Poetry has often been associated with difficulty, small audiences and a complete lack of commercial potential—a genre so doomed that its survival is in itself a source of wonder. The conclusion of this monograph explores the topic of the survival of poetry in the digital era. It focuses on the new generation of popular women poets (such as Rupi Kaur) and their use of social media. It also explores the importance of preserving and making accessible the born-digital archives of contemporary poets.
