Poets of the Movement

Poets of the Movement refer to writers associated with literary groups that emerged in various regions during the early 20th century, often emphasizing clarity, directness, and traditional craft over elaborate or overly experimental styles. They aimed to make poetry accessible and relatable, aligning with cultural or political movements of their time. Notable examples include the Irish Literary Revival and the Victory or Movement poets. Their work often reflected national identity, social issues, or shared experiences, seeking to connect deeply with readers through straightforward language and meaningful themes.
