K1 supervivencia K1 neovanguardia K1 poesía K1 revolución K1 americana AB The historical avant-garde attempted to develop “an alternative relationship between highart and mass culture” (Huyssen VIII). However, this is a project that ultimately failed. In1988, Steve Kowit put together an anthology entitled The Maverick Poets, bringing to-gether American poets from various backgrounds. What these poets have in common,though, is their integration of art into life, which they achieve through careful weaving oflife into art. By ultimately succeeding where the historical avant-garde failed, the MaverickPoets represent a “neo-avant-garde” with work that is edgy, and poets who are “disinclinedto run with the herd” (Kowit 1). This disinclination allows for a collection of poetry deal-ing with various themes of survival through careful representation of the mundane activi-ties and events of everyday life.
