Postmodern Urban Romanticism

A literary and artistic movement in the United States that incorporates elements of second -generation English Romantic literature and philosophy with postmodernist artistic sensibilities. Informed by the social sciences, works in this genre are typically situated against a landscape of urban and psychological decay. Particularly prominent in the midwestern United States.
"It could be argued that many intellectuals who write new formalist verse for poetry slams, or make philosophy memes are incorporating elements of postmodern urban romanticism."
