Kenneth Koch

    Kenneth Koch fut une figure centrale de la New York School of Poetry, un mouvement d'avant-garde qui chercha à revitaliser la poésie au milieu du XXe siècle. Aux côtés de ses pairs, Koch s'efforça de se libérer des clichés poétiques, s'inspirant du surréalisme et de l'expressionnisme abstrait pour forger une nouvelle voie littéraire. Il était connu pour sa posture anti-académique et ses efforts fervents pour promouvoir sa propre œuvre et celle de ses compagnons poètes. Son vaste héritage englobe la poésie, des pièces de théâtre, des nouvelles et des essais sur l'esthétique et l'enseignement de la poésie.
