	Lazer on Dark City
		Interestingly enough, the principal pressure for the situation to be otherwise comes from students in these programs who are often more democratic and adventurous readers than their teachers (who, for the most part, were raised on the institutionalized divide between poetry and criticism, creativity and theory).
		While Bernstein rejects today's mainstream activity--"Poetry: the show--/ me business" (Dark City, 17)--the notion of a self or an individuated writer of poetry remains a complex issue that will not, even with the magic wand of the phrases "the death of the author" or "the fragmentation of the self," disappear.
		The first poem in his 1994 collection Dark City, "The Lives of the Toll Takers," establishes a consideration of the state of poetry today as one such recurring concern for Bernstein.

		In the words of one critic, The Panjandrum of Quondam is "a spirited counter-attack upon those critics and so-called members of the literati who have the temerity to rejectpoetry of an unorthodox nature." Adrian Green of Littoral Poetry Magazine calls it "a full-blown attack on the 'less is more' syndrome in contemporary poetry."
		Lester is also the founder of the Graphorrhoealist movement, which primarily encourages all forms of creativity and writing to be uncontrolled or unrestricted by pre-conceived social, political, or religious limitations.
		U.S. Army officers are more interested in selling soap than in defeating the enemy.

	ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION POETRY GUIDE: RUSSIAN, GERMAN, FRENCH, WORLD
		In 1950 he left Germany for the United States, where his later poetry "is on a metaphysical plane, the longing for homeland transformed into longing for a merger with the universe." Ivan Elagin (1918-1987) had an interrupted medical education, and worked forced labor as a nurse in Germany, coming to the US (Pittsburgh) in 1950.
		The short-story influence on Russian poetry was by way of Turgenev and Gogol, and to a lesser extent from Balzac, as many Russian intellectuals spoke French.
		In Russian times of revolutionary resurgence, future-oriented literature of utopias and dytopiasflared up, even before the science fiction genre was securely established in the 1920's.

	The Slovak Republic
		In 1950 four Slovak Catholic bishops were arrested and the Greek Catholic Church, with 305,000 faithful, was formally suppressed and forcibly merged with the Orthodox Church and subordinated to the Patriarchate of Moscow.
		Slovak Catholics (85% of the population) were not allowed by the Czech government to form their own party, so they concluded an agreement with the Democratic Party, as a result of which that party obtained 62 percent of all Slovak votes.
		Slovaks, who once inhabited the eastern part of Czecho-Slovakia, are an independent nation in terms of language, culture, history, religion, political convictions, folklore, and mentality.

	French poetry since 1950
		Hence at the same time the expression « post-modern poetry » is absurd, since poetry is first and foremost a knowledge according to the mode of both tension and conflict.
		Since the middle of the XXth century, we are aware that French poets have been withdrawn in the demanding singularity of their art and relatively no longer involved in History.
		Contemporary French poetry is as lively as it is multifarious.

	Poetry Form - The Concrete Poem
		In the 1950's poets in Switzerland and Sweden and Brazil started, independently, to develop "Concrete Poetry" (partly as an adaptation of "concrete painting", a minor European school of the 1940's).
		In general, concrete poetry attempts to give its audience the more immediate experience of art that is achieved by viewers of art or hearers of music.
		While such poetry is predominantly experienced as visual poetry, some concrete poetry is sound poetry.

	U B U W E B :: Concrete Poetry and Conceptual Art
		Concrete poetry first emerged as a coherent movement during the 1950's and 1960's and its precepts were exemplified by a number of central figures who incorporated text as a visual element within geometric, symmetrical and occasionally pictorial arrangements.
		The swift decline of Concrete poetry in the mid 1960's was further accelerated by a wider perception that the form of the visual poem was compromised in the eyes of both literary criticism and and art theory.
		Whilst the cultural significance of concrete poetry as a movement per se may still be the subject of some inquiry, its importance to the development of other artistic forms and its precedence in wresting a share of language from the grip of the literary cognoscenti and integrating it into visual art practice seems significant.

		Visual-Kinetic poetries in the space-time of digital codification convey both a continuation and an acceleration of traditional activities - most notably the Visual-Concrete poetry and Kinetic Art movements of the 1950's and 60's." From Virtual Skin by William Marsh
		"If one is concerned with the development of a new poetry for the digital age, it is important to write visual poetry in a medium different than print, a medium that is fresh and the conventions of which are yet to be invented.
		What qualifies recent innovations in digital-based poetry, however, are its allegiances (implicit and explicit) to the page or ink-based poetries from which it has evolved.

	The Northern Region, Identity, and Culture in Korea
		As one of the founders of the Poetic Literature (simunhak) journal in 1930, Kim Yŏngnang (1903-1950) debuted onto the stage of "pure poetry" (sunsu si) which purportedly stood in opposition to the rise of purpose-driven leftist literature.

		The articulations of Korean nationalist thought that Andre Schmid excellently analyzes in Korea between Empires coincided with the frustration of the Ilchinhoe as "populist reformers." When colonialism abrogated the "reforms" defined in indigenous terms, it diluted the political significance of "reforms" and made them secondary to the issue of national sovereignty.

	Poetic Diversities: Social Dimensions of Korean Poetry
		Although obviously many individual Korean poems, well translated, can touch readers without any need for them to know about such things, a variety of deeper responses may be evoked by a greater awareness of some of the contexts and issues that have determined the evolutions of Korean poetry in the present century.
		When we translate modern Korean poetry, we are attempting to bring works written within one particular poetic tradition, and in a very specific linguistic, social, cultural, and historical context, to the attention of readers who cannot be assumed to be familiar with either tradition or context.
		The ideological division that brought about the Korean War (1950-3) was long present in the literary sphere as an intense debate about the relationship of art and life and the poet's social responsibility.

	Amazon.com: Anthology of Twentieth-Century British and Irish Poetry: Books
		Several significant practitioners of what might be termed post-modernist, or late-modernist, or even "avant-garde" poetry have been included, but they represent less than half the selection from the post-1950 period, which does not seem to me to be unfair.
		While its coverage of Welsh poetry of this period could be better, this is counterbalanced by a very astute view of Irish poetry, which brings mportant figures to notice (above all in the UK and the USA, where they are almost unknown) such as Devlin, Coffey, Joyce, Walsh and others.
		One thing his accent on nonmainstream poetries does is to undo such cliches: such writers as Mina Loy, JG Macleod, Thomas MacGreevy, Brian Coffey, WS Graham, Lynette Roberts and David Gascoyne are set beside better-known modernist figures like Eliot, Lawrence, Jones, Bunting and MacDiarmid.

	British Poetry Since 1945 - Peter Finch
		In 1982 mainstream neo-Georgian Andrew Motion (1952-) (later to become one of Britain's greatest successes as Poet Laureate, succeeding Ted Hughes in the role in 1998) and Blake Morrison (1950-) produced the Penguin Book of Contemporary British Poetry, an anthology which makes its point more by who it left out than who went in.
		Poetry delivered as entertainment, loud, in your face and, like much of the rest of our media, instantly appreciable has turned verse from an arcane art into a truly popular one.
		British Asian poetry, extant but minimal, has hitherto fared much worse.

		During the early forties Brooks began attending poetry workshops where she blossomed and produced poems that soon began to attract a fair amount of attention in Chicago.
		In 1945 Brooks published her first collection, A Street in Bronzeville, followed in by Annie Allen which earned her the Pulitzer Prize in 1950.
