Features: The literary style of an era is composed of extremely complex factors. In the interaction and complementarity between tradition and individual creativity, literature gradually reveals its diversity. In this book, the author chooses "expression" and "description" as literary factors to serve as reference points for examining the styles of individual poets. This is mainly because, in the early 1980s, "description" was a key focus of many literary critics in the United States. As the trend toward postmodernism gradually emerged, people began to pay particular attention to the various meanings of visual experience. This focus also directly led to the interest of literary scholars in "description." The interaction between tradition and individual creation is the central theme of this book. The five poets discussed in the book all sought to connect their lyrical expression with past models as they developed their personal styles.
