szkoła-i-dom: List of poetry groups and movements

Evidence: 100 • authority: 72

Poetry groups and movements or schools may be self-identified by the poets that form them or defined by critics who see unifying characteristics of a body of work by more than one poet. To be a 'school', a group of poets must share a common style or a common ethos. A commonality of form is not in itself sufficient to define a school; for example, Edward Lear, George du Maurier and Ogden Nash do not form a school simply because they all wrote limericks. There are many different 'schools' of poetry. Some of them are described below in approximate chronological sequence. The subheadings indicate broadly the century in which a style arose.

Poetry (from the Greek word poiesis, "making") is a form of literary art that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, literal or surface-level meanings. A particular instance of poetry is a poem and is written by a poet. Poets use a variety of techniques called poetic devices, such as assonance, alliteration, consonance, euphony and cacophony, onomatopoeia, rhythm (via metre), rhyme schemes (patterns in the type and placement of a phoneme group) and sound symbolism, to produce musical or other artistic effects. They also frequently organize these devices into poetic structures, which may be strict or loose, conventional or in…

In more theoretical terms, it challenges the "n…

Self-Identified College Peer Groups and Derived Rankings. The Integrated Postsecondary Data System contains a rich set of information about U.S. colleges and universities. As part of this information, institutions can identify a ``custom comparison group'' of peer institutions. 80% of the nearly 1500 institutions we consider in this work provided such peer data. We explore the use of these data to discover self-identified peer groups and derive a ranking system. The work focuses on the use of mutual peers, where a pair of institutions explicitly identify each other as a peers. In the dataset we found 23% of identified peers are reciprocated as mutual peers.<br><br>We first identify complete…

Literary movements are a way to divide literature into categories of similar philosophical, topical, or aesthetic features, as opposed to divisions by genre or period. Like other categorizations, literary movements provide language for comparing and discussing literary works. These terms are helpful for curricula or anthologies. Some of these movements (such as Dada and Beat) were defined by the members themselves, while other terms (for example, the metaphysical poets) emerged decades or centuries after the periods in question. Further, some movements are well defined and distinct, while others, like expressionism, are nebulous and overlap with other definitions. Because of these differenc…

The term Metaphysical poets was coined by the critic Samuel Johnson to describe a loose group of 17th-century English poets whose work was characterised by the inventive use of conceits, and by a greater emphasis on the spoken rather than lyrical quality of their verse. These poets were not formally affiliated and few were highly regarded until 20th century attention established their importance. Given the lack of coherence as a movement, and the diversity of style among poets, it has been suggested that calling them Baroque poets after their era might be more useful. Once the Metaphysical style was established, however, it was occasionally adopted by other and especially younger poets to f…

Feminism is a range of socio-political movements and ideologies that aim to define and establish the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes. Feminism holds the position that modern societies are patriarchal—they prioritize the male point of view—and that women are treated unjustly in these societies. Efforts to change this include fighting against gender stereotypes, breaking down traditional gender roles, and improving educational, professional, and interpersonal opportunities and outcomes for women. A person who advocates for feminism is known as a feminist. Originating in late 18th-century Europe, feminist movements have campaigned for women's rights, including t…

Narrative poetry is a form of poetry that tells a story, often using the voices of both a narrator and characters; the entire story is usually written in metered verse. Narrative poems do not need to rhyme. The poems that make up this genre may be short or long, and the story it relates to may be complex. It is normally dramatic, with various characters. Narrative poems include all epic poetry, and the various types of "lay", most ballads, and some idylls, as well as many poems not falling into a distinct type. Some narrative poetry takes the form of a novel in verse. An example of this is The Ring and the Book by Robert Browning. In terms of narrative poetry, romance is a narrative poem th…

A poetry slam is a competitive art event in which poets perform spoken word poetry before a live audience and a panel of judges. Some people draw distinction between the concepts of "poetry slam" as a competition event and "slam poetry" as a performance event and art form. There are regular poetry slam competitions all around the globe. The performances at a poetry slam are judged as much on performance as content, and poets may compete as individuals or in teams. The judging is often handled by a panel of judges, typically five, who are usually selected from the audience. Often, the highest and lowest scores for each poet in a round are dropped. The audience is encouraged to react to a poe…

New religious movements and cults have appeared as themes or subjects in literature and popular culture. Beginning in the 1700s authors in the English-speaking world began introducing members of cults as antagonists. Satanists, Yakuzas, Triads, Thugs, and sects of the Latter Day Saint movement were popular choices. In the twentieth century concern for the rights and feelings of religious minorities led authors to invent fictional cults for their villains to belong to. New religious movements and cults then began to appear in more modern culture in the 1950s and 1960s and became more prominent in the 1970s and 1980s into the 2000s. In the twenty-first century, popular awareness of new religi…

Ali Babachahi (Persian: علی باباچاهی; 11 November 1942 – 23 February 2026; 20 Aban 1321 – 4 Esfand 1404 in the Solar Hijri calendar) was an Iranian poet, literary critic, researcher and writer. A recognised figure of modern Persian poetry in the generation after Nima, he became in the 1990s one of the most debated theorists and critics of contemporary Iranian poetry, introducing the notions of "post-Nimaic poetry" (she'r-e pasa-nimai) and, later, "poetry in another situation" (she'r dar vaz'iyat-e digar). He taught literature in Bushehr for about eighteen years and founded the literary magazine Tekapu there in 1967; the magazine was closed under pressure from SAVAK. In October 1977 he read…
