	20TH CENTURY CONTEMPORARY POETRY: POST WAR SPANISH POETRY
		Although he began to write before spanish civil war books like Things as they are (1949) and Cards shown (1951) he was devoted to a social poetry, direct and easy in its expression and often prosaic, that gave its better fruits in Iberic Songs (1955), probably his most elaborated work.
		He wrote social poetry, devoted to the huge majority, collected in anthologies like Country (1955-1970) (1971) or Verse and prose (1974).poetry.
		Years 50s and 60s introduce a generation who practices poetry as knowledge rather than poetry as communication, as was the usual up to now.

	Week 3
		With his second volume of poetry, The Less Deceived (1955), Larkin became the pre-eminent poet of his generation, and a leading voice of what came to be called “The Movement”, a group of young English writers who rejected the prevailing fashion for neo-Romantic writing in the style of W.B.Yeats and Dylan Thomas.
		His poetry and poetics are highly significant in that they have advanced the art as a way of seeing and voicing the physical world.
		He was a neurotic, sickly child who shied away from school and preferred reading on his own; he read all of D.H.Lawrence's poetry, impressed by Lawrence's descriptions of a vivid natural world.

	Turkish Literature
		Literature responded to this atmosphere and authors, whether they produced poetry or prose, increasingly focused on subjects such as social change, political issues, economic difficulties, alienation and the relations of the intellectual with his/her environment.
		Is one of the types of literature which is formed attributing supernatural characteristics to real and imaginary beings, places and events, which canalize the individual and social life of a person with the belief that they are told as real, and whose tellers are definite.
		The development of Turkish literature, the point it reached and the problems it faced, were brought onto the agenda; the works were evaluated with the artistic, technical and informative criteria, rather than the ideology adopted by the author.

	Poetry Ireland
		Clarke's early poetry pays homage to the Literary Revival, but from Ancient Lights (1955) on, it crackles with the electricity of modernist fracture as it savagely discloses crass philistinism and weaves traditional motifs into a radically new fabric of doubt.
		The respect accorded poetry was all that Spenser found admirable in Gaelic culture, although in 'Colin Clouts' he contrasts the simple honesty of his Kilcolman estate with the rancour of London.
		WB Yeats's poetry is the central pinion that engages the wheels of politics and society.

	CPR - On Contemporary American Poetry by James Rother
		His poems advertise the awareness that in our benighted period of history, poetry has become an anachronism which attracts very little curiosity and conduces even less to love--which is partly the reason why the wit and the verbal agility of an Ashbery seem now almost redemptive in their promise of things to come.
		Afoot is a much larger conspiracy of pretense regarding the value of contemporary American poetry, and its origins may be traced, at least in part, to the dissolution of that elite corps of shock troops within the arts, that dependable company of warm-up specialists so long the bane of the bourgeoisie--the avant-garde.
		In fact, I would venture the proposition that I'm more in agreement now than I was when I wrote this with T. Eliot's characterization of poetry as "a mug's game"--though I confess to having very mixed feelings about the utter lack of guilt that enables me to say that.

	DVD Savant Review: Richard III (1955)
		Not only is the 1955 movie more rare, according to Bruce Eder the disc restores nearly twenty minutes lopped off early in its release.
		Coming at the movie from the position of someone unschooled in Shakespeare, the poetry of the play is fascinating in itself.
		Richard no longer reveals his motive as pure villainy (even I remember this from the Ian McKellen "fascist" version) and some key lines are imported from other Shakespeare plays.

	Atlanta's Poetry Impresario
		And for more than 20 years, Eugene Ellis, an 1955 architecture graduate of Georgia Tech, has built the literary community in Atlanta, bringing nationally and internationally recognized poets to town, staging readings for local writers and providing the kind of support found in few cities.
		"I have always felt that the structures in architecture and poetry have great similarities--what kind of rhythm and what kind of shape a thing takes is very significant," he says.
		There are many venues that offer poetry readings around town, and they enjoy a certain degree of popularity for a time, then fade away, only to be replaced by other establishments.

		The turning-point, both for Adonis and for modern Arabic poetry as a whole, came with Aghani Mihyar al-Dimashqi (1961), in which he achieved a balance between poetry's Socio-political role and the demands of a symbolic 'language of absence' which poetry, as he saw it, required.
		Adonis's role in the evolution of free verse was crucial; at the same time, he wanted to maintain for poetry an autonomous space and a refined language that refused to descend to the level of daily speech.
		After his arbitrary imprisonment for six months in 1955 for political activities and membership of the Syrian National Socialist Party, he settled in Lebanon in 1956, later becoming a Lebanese national.
