zeep

A type of poetry common at the end of the twentieth century and notable for
its reliance on simple language and mundane topics. (Many of these
multifarious contents are—to revive Dan Raphael’s term from the late 1980s
—examples of zeep poety: a kind of loose informal poetry best exemplified
by Charles Bukowski and Lyn Lifshin in this collection. -Geof Huth)
