Poetry set apart by what it is about rather than by its form or its date, including topographical poetry that describes and praises a landscape or place, ekphrastic poetry that describes a work of art, war poetry on the topic of war, and speculative poetry drawn from science fiction and fantasy. A form belongs here when its cited article defines it chiefly by its subject matter. It excludes poetry named for a social cause or a community, which belongs with contemporary and social poetry.
