American Confessional Poetry Movement: New Type Of Poetry
Confessional poetry is a type of lyric and narrative verse. This form of poetry revived and set in motion by the poem “Life Studies (1959)” written by Robert Lowell. It deals with intimate experiences and facts of poets own life.
This form of confessional poetry was in vogue to show the rebellion against the demand of impersonality advocated by T. S. Eliot and the New Critics. It deals with secular type of subject-matter. It is in contrast with the poems of Romantic Period, especially differs from Wordsworth’s “Tintern Abbey”.
Confessional poems were written by Sylvia Plath, Allen Ginsberg, John Berryman and American confessional poetry movement began.
