60s Poetry

Although post-World War II American poetry was decentralized and richly varied in expression, it can be divided into the traditional, idiosyncratic, experimental poetry. Traditional poets have maintained or revitalized poetic traditions. Idiosyncratic poets have used both traditional and innovative techniques in creating unique voices. Experimental poets have courted new cultural styles.
