By the close of the nineteenth century, many poets had abandoned rhyme and meter in favor of "free verse." Nearly one hundred years later, a growing number of younger poets are reclaiming traditional conventions of prosody by composing rhymed and measured poetry. Missing Measures is the first full articulation of the aesthetics of this new movement.
