How can I rewrite "Lines Written in Early Spring" by William Wordsworth into a modernist poem? Characteristics of Modernist poetry include:
• Capture the cynicism and disappointment many people felt toward outdated nineteenth-century ideas
• Focus on the complexities of modern life
• Highlight the alienation of the individual in the modern world
• Break with past literary traditions and styles
• Employ references to diverse cultures, belief systems, and histories
• Use experimental language and techniques, such as drawing a distinct line between the poet and the speaker and writing from multiple perspectives and in different voices

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
