Description
First, I show that the lyric, culturally understood as short verse written in the first person that reveals something of the psychological state of its speaker, occupied a uniquely valuable literary position in the context of New Left psychopolitics. As a result of the sense that poetry, following the Howl trial, might be a legal techne for plumbing and expressing the depths of one's consciousness, poetry became an essential literary form for the New Left.
