"This group of poets in the United States flourished from the 1950's through the 1970's. They were intellectuals who possessed wit, learning, and energy, and were interested in French culture, modern music (particularly jazz), modern art, and urban life. Experimental in form and inspired by abstract expressionism, they wrote highly personal, vivid poetry, often with complex imagery" (Literary Reference Center).
