	About English beat poetry
		The story of English beat poetry begins in a man's attempt to assert the nobility of his soul in the face of alienation from his environ, an irrelevant suburban "village" (sic), and that oldest of phenomena: being jilted, dumped, by a girlfriend, while "down".
		English beat poetry was also born out of a more distant personal history: that of associating with the homeless and feeling, psychologically at least, homeless myself.
		English beat poetry is an attempt to formulate a rush of rhyme in prose-style that drums on the stairwell of modern culture, like the rain of Rainbowed Passions.

	Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The oldest epic poetry besides the Epic of Gilgamesh are the Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey and the Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabharata.
		Later poets and aestheticians often distinguished poetry from, and defined it in opposition to, prose, which was generally understood as writing with a proclivity to logical explication and a linear narrative structure.
		The rejection of traditional forms and structures for poetry that began in the first half of the twentieth century, coincided with a questioning of the purpose and meaning of traditional definitions of poetry and of distinctions between poetry and prose.

	Essays and Papers on POETRY: ENGLISH Research Papers, Essays, and Term Papers
		This poetry was produced by a group of poets of the seventeenth century, called the metaphysical poets by critics Herbert Grierson and T.S. Eliot because the poets showed certain similarities in their philosophical conception of the universe and in the way they expressed this philosophical view in their poetry (Lanstaff and Kermode 14).
		In the study of literature, the term "Metaphysical" refers to a type of poetry initiated by John Donne in the early seventeenth century--it is characterized by "conceits," elaborate, sustained metaphors (Abrams, 1993, 1081).
		Grierson offers a definition when he states that metaphysical poetry is poetry which "has been inspired by a philosophical conception of the universe and the role assigned to the human spirit in the great drama of existence" (Grierson 3).
