the
traditional
norms
of
Arabic
poetry
(the
Kassida
,
traditional
songs
,
short
forms
,
etc.)
They
call
it
a
prose
poem
, but
it's
more
like
our
free
verse
, and what they
call
free
verse
,
which
actually
plays
against
more
formal
elements

"
modernism
"
actually
began
in the
13th
century
with
Omar
Khayyam
and
others

Joris
says
, if
we
compare
it
to the
city
poem
that
began
European
modernism
