poetry movements

Poetry movements are groups of poets sharing similar styles or ideas, often responding to social and cultural contexts. For example, Romanticism in the late 18th century emphasized emotion and nature, while Modernism in the early 20th century broke traditional rules, exploring experimental language and perspectives. The Harlem Renaissance celebrated African American culture through vibrant, expressive poetry. Surrealism used dreamlike imagery, and Confessionalism focused on personal, often private experiences. These movements reflect how poets respond to their times, shaping poetry’s evolution and diversity.
