Modern English poetry in the 20th century is characterized by experimentation with form and language, a focus on individual experience and emotions, and a break from traditional poetic conventions. Poets such as T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats, and Sylvia Plath explored themes of alienation, despair, and the complexities of modern life. This period saw a shift towards free verse, fragmented imagery, and a blending of literary influences from various cultures and movements.
It already is in modern English. It's just in poetry. You can get dumbed down non-poetry paraphrases in various places.
