We Weren't Invited - Brutalist Poetry #2Author: Fletch FletcherBrutalism is often called ugly and bleak but it has a purity of line and space a rough surface texture and an underlying sense of weight and mass.Brutalist Poetry conforms to some or all of these points: * Words set in concrete. * Rejection of classical styles. * Built on tension. * Minimalist. Pared down to the bone. * Divisive. * Egalitarian. * Resistance to metaphor.* Radical imagery. * Hard consonants. * Authentic. The Brutalist lives the words. * Anti-heroic. The Brutalist is a pleb not a prophet. * Screams from the Gig Economy. * Dry humour. Deadpan delivery. * Pan for gold.* Contradictions exist. * Printed on paper only.
