Abstract: It has been over fourteen years since Jianghan Academic opened its signature column of “Modern Poetry Study”；with over sixty topics，it has become a most important academic window for the study of new poetry. It is the only modern-poetry column that has received the first Award of Excellence for the Building of Famous Columns from the Ministry of Education. This paper examined the research articles on this platform since 2012 to observe how they construct poetry’s“modernity”. The study finds that the column’s strategy of“special column，special topics，and specialists”has been deeply involved in modern poetry’s academic diagnosis and exploration. It includes，to the greatest extent，discussions on different stages，traditions，tendencies，genres，and trends of thought within the“modern”realm；it，in addition，reflects with the foreseeing consciousness of problems on the increasingly solidified ways of discourse. The column has done its job in correcting the imbalanced state in the study of“modern”poetry. This platform reveals many important dimensions within the modern poetry：“change of main bodies”，“innovation of techniques”，“study of voices”，and“development trend and classics”；it oversteps the“university journal style”to support individualized poetry reviews.

Key words: Jianghan Academic, modern poetry study, Ministry of Education’s famous column, modernity, poetry perspective
