: no i don't think the beats can really be accused of ruining poetry. sure, they removed pretty much all of the constraints and recognised forms of a lot of poetry, but if each generation continued in the same vein as their predecessors, we'd still be reading variations on the psalms of david (not that there's anything wrong with that)
I must agree. I think the beats made poetry of their own... removing all tradition from poetry and leaving the remains, with a new form of expression and pion involved. i am enthralled by kerouac's writings; i think it is poetry in itself.
