Abstract

The evolution of American poetry after 1945 reflects a deliberate departure from established norms and conventions. Poets of this period, influenced by significant socio-political changes, abandoned traditional structures to explore uncharted territories of expression. From the Beat Generation’s embrace of spontaneity to the raw introspection of Confessional Poetry and the cultural assertion of the Black Arts Movement, these anti-traditional forms reshaped the poetic landscape. This article delves into the defining characteristics of post-1945 American poetry, its major movements, and its impact on contemporary literature, underscoring its role as a mirror of a dynamic, evolving society.
