Apocalypse poets

Apocalypse poets

The Apocalypse Poets are a group of poets, mostly born in the middle or late 20th century (see the term "baby boomers") who wrote and lived in the atomic and nuclear age when weapons of annihilation brought about the constant fear of nuclear war and the possible scenario of the end of the world.
