Kenneth Koch

    Kenneth Koch bol kľúčovou postavou „Novej školy poézie v New Yorku“, avantgardného hnutia, ktoré sa v polovici 20. storočia snažilo oživiť poéziu. Spolu s ďalšími významnými básnikmi tejto školy sa Koch snažil oslobodiť tvorbu od klišé a nachádzať nové cesty prostredníctvom vplyvov surrealizmu a abstraktného expresionizmu. Bol známy svojím odporom voči akademizmu a snahou propagovať svoje dielo i diela svojich priateľov. Jeho rozsiahle literárne dedičstvo zahŕňa poéziu, divadelné hry, poviedky i eseje o estetike a o výučbe poézie.
