ANCIENT focuses on UNIVERSE/WORLD (mimetic)
NEOCLASS focuses on READER/AUDIENCE (pragmatic)
ROMANTICS focuses on CREATOR/ARTISTS (expressive)
MODERN focuses on WORKS/TEXTS (objective)
So therefore, which category does the poem "Idea of Order at Key West" fall into?
Romantics focuses on the creator and the artists, and the poem is about creation.
"She sang beyond the genius of the sea, the water never formed to mind or voice"
If she is the creator (or a god, in a sense), then the water is her clay to mould as she will and the poem completely expresses her creation of the world.
