    Definition of American Poetry

    During its early history, American was a series of


    British Colonies on the Eastern coast of the present-
    day United States. Therefore, its literary tradition
    begans as linked to the broader tradition of English
    literature.
    The Characteristic of American Poetry
    ● American poetry began with a style and structure
    similar to British poetry. As they start to gain a
    national identity, however, American poets
    started to create their own form, liberating
    themselves from the British.
    ● Their poetry expressing about the nature, family
    matters, meaning of life, etc.
    ● Ralph Waldo Emerson is know as the “pioneer” of
    the American poetry in the 19th century.
    The “Pioneer” of The American Poetry in
    The 19th Century
    ● Best known as a writer and essayist in 1803-1882
    ● One of the fathers of Transcendentalism
    ● Serves as the main reason that American Poetry
    has an identity separate from British Poetry in the modern era.
    ● Some of Emerson’s poems:
    The Concord Hymn
    The Snow-Storm
    Song of Nature
