Blank & Free Verse - Poetry Defined

The video tutorial explores the differences between blank verse and free verse, dispelling the myth that they are the same. Blank verse is a metered, non-rhyming form often written in iambic pentameter, while free verse lacks a fixed rhythmical pattern and rhyme scheme. Examples from Shakespeare, Wallace Stevens, Charles Wright, and Miguel Algarin illustrate these forms. The video concludes with a quote on poetry's challenges and a preview of future topics like alliteration and rhyming.
