Brutalist Poetry conforms to some or all of these points: * Words chiselled into concrete. * Divisive. * Egalitarian. * Discordant. * Radical imagery. * Saxon words preferred to Latinate. * Authentic. The anti-poet lives the lines. * Anti-heroic. The anti-poet is a pleb, not a prophet. * Screams from the Gig Economy. * Rough surface texture. * Rejection of any classical style. * Minimalist. Pared down to the bone. * Dry humour. Deadpan delivery. * Underlying sense of weight and mass. * Built on tension. * Purity of line and space. * Socialist in leaning. * Contradictions exist. * Printed on paper, only.
