Poetry Believed Defunct

THE FLEA is friendly to strong poems in Formal Verse, including poetry which might not, for sundry reasons, fit the Style and Orthodoxy of some prevailing Schools and Sects; poems which deploy difficult & bizarre Conceits, or (it may be) use abstruse language not found in every common inn or marketplace, or treat unusual topics, in ways perhaps displeasing to those Masters and Mistresses of the Fine Arts, who hold themselves Arbiters of politic taste in versification, but which are yet pleasant and harmonious to the taste of the Editor of THE FLEA.
