Expressionist poetry

Expressionist poetry is a style that emerged in the early 20th century, emphasizing raw emotion and individual experience over traditional forms and norms. It often features bold, unconventional language, vivid imagery, and intense feelings to convey inner turmoil, angst, or existential concerns. The movement seeks to express the subjective perspective of the poet, capturing the chaos or alienation of modern life. Rather than aiming for realism or beauty, Expressionist poetry prioritizes emotional truth and often challenges the reader to confront deeper truths about human existence.
