Working with poems written in XXI century is a true challenge for a modern teacher. The purpose of the master thesis is to establish some reference points in modern poetry. While studying modern poetry in high school, a teacher can use modern anthologies, educational and methodological manuals, and modern literary criticism in his work. The object of the study is modern poetic texts and the aesthetic criteria applied to them by the compilers of anthologies, educational and methodological manuals, the authors of literary and critical articles of the magazine “Novy Mir”. The master thesis consists of three chapters. The study attempts to solve the following tasks: in the first chapter, to consider and compare the principles of selection of poetic texts in modern anthologies, to model the "Map of modern poetry" according to one of the anthologies; in the second chapter, to analyze the representation of modern poetic texts in various textbooks and identify the principles of selection of the authors and texts studied; in the third chapter, to present a model of the map of modern Russian poetry reflecting the conceptual vision of modern literature by critics of the Novy Mir magazine (all articles in the 2021 and 2023 issues were used as research material) and to identify poetic texts that would be interesting for a modern teacher for discussion during literature lessons and elective courses.
