Anti-poetry

Anti-poetry

Anti-poetry is an art movement that attempts to break away from the normal conventions of poetry. Early proponents of anti-poetry include Nicanor Parra.

Parra, known as the father of anti-poetry, published his first collection of antipoems in 1954 ("Poemas y antipoemas") and sought to reject the belief that verse holds any mystical power. The poems have been described as prose-like, irreverent, and illuminates the problems of human existence [ [http://lit.enotes.com/poetry-criticism/parra-nicanor] "Parra, Nicanor: INTRODUCTION."
