History of Free Verse Poems

Free verse was said to be created in the 1900s by Ezra Pound, who is most commonly known as the first author to intentionally use free verse poetry. Even though was more common in the 1900s, free was even present in the King James Bible. Free Verse poetry has been used in poetry since the beginning, but it just wasn't always known as free verse.

Overview and History of a Free Verse

Free verse caught fire during America's two great forays into expressionist poetry: the American Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century that included Henry David Thoreau and influenced Walt Whitman; and the Beatnik poetry of the 1950s and 1960s, when Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, aging Beat influencer William Carlos Williams, and others took center stage.
