Kingsley Amis and the Movement Poetry

Abstract

The Movement literary movement is known for how it caused so many debates concerning its existence in the 1950s. This is due to the fact that the poetry of this movement is known as a break from the old traditions of poetry and a step toward the Post-Modern themes and techniques. The subject matter of this literary movement is human experience, which makes its poetry more understandable by the majority of people, unlike the difficult language that marked the poetry of the other schools that came before. Thus, it is fair to say that the poetry of the Movement literary movement tackles the socio-cultural matters that dealt with the mass that the post-modern societies faced back then during the 1950s.
