The History of American Poetry

- Recently I’d heard a lot of people throw around the term “Modern Poetry” in regard to books of poetry being published and consumed today and I became increasingly interested in where the current styles of poetry came from. The history and movement of poetry through the centuries isn’t something a lot of us have an intimate knowledge about, so I thought I’d do a little Wikipedia research combined with my own memory of when I studied this years ago in college, and shed some light on the subject of where exactly the current American trends in poetry came from.
Delving into this subject I thought would be pretty straight forward, but there’s a lot of information and I'm sure I missed or left out some things, but for this video I did my best to give a reasonably detailed overview of the History of Poetry in America.
There were hardly any other videos on RUclips that cover the history of poetry in any regard, which is partly why I made this, but if you're interested in a more in-depth video about the Harlem Renaissance, I recommend Crash Course's video: • Langston Hughes and th...
Deeply sorry for any mispronunciations!

Great video! Especially good for students who want a quick overview and pseudo reading list :)
Thank you! Your video is very informative
I like the video but the background makes it hard to read
Valuable lecture.
thanks!
Can you tell us the relationship between English and American poetry
Thank you, I like it.
You're welcome! I'm glad!
What about the beginning of American poetry? When it exactly started?
Charles Bukowski was the greatest poet and short story writer of all time. And anyone who leaves him out of the great modern poets or shirt story writers are either jealous or ignorant.
For instance:
“Peace”
I thought the dove
was the bird of
peace
but here they were shooting them out
of the brush
and climbing up the sides of mountains
and banging them down;
and everywhere the doves went
there were the
hunters
blasting and beaming and blasting,
and one man who didn’t
in the slightest
resemble a dove
was shot in the shoulder;
and there were many complaints
that the doves
were smaller and scarcer
than last year,
but the way they fell
through the air
when you stung the
life
out of them
was the same;
and I was there too
but I couldn’t shoot anything
with a paintbrush;
and a couple of them
came over to my canvas
and stood and stood and stood
until I finally said,
for God’s sake
go look at Picasso and Rembrandt,
go look at Klee and Gauguin,
listen to a symphony by Mahler,
and if you get anything
out of that
come back
and stare at my canvas!
what the hell’s wrong with
him? the one guy
said.
he’s nuts. they’re all nuts,
the other guy said. anyhow,
I got my 10 doves.
me too, his buddy said, let’s
go home: we can have them
in the frying pan
by 2:30.
-Charles Bukowski
Thanks for this!
You're welcome!
Nada se compara a Goçales Dias.
O cara é lindo
É belo
É poposo
E singelo
Só quero dizer que
Nothing compares to what Brazil have

What is the difference between Emily Dickinson treatment of nature and the American poetry upon nature ? Are they the same?
Are they not one in the same? She was deeply influenced by her predecessors. What do you think? Outside of her structure and irony, what do you think is different about her treatment of nature from other American poets during that time?
,@@KayeSpivey I think that there is a little difference between her and the American poets, concerning the treatment of nature.
As a published poet, educator, and workshop facilitator, I will answer your question about Emily Dickinson... She was a trailblazer - very innovative. Her use of half- rhyme, condensed stanzas, and approach to craft makes her poetry very recognizable- unique. Her nature poems are based on close observation while in her garden, and on memory and imagination... even when she was reclusive. She often interjects her philosophy ( worldview and spiritual beliefs) in poems, when she is seemingly talking about something else. Some may see her writings as " simple" yet it is really quite intricate- multi-layered and, sometimes cryptic.
