Confessional poetry means an autobiographical verse style that with unusual frankness exhibits personal dilemmas of poet. According to J.A. Cutton, in The Penguin Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory, Confessional poetry is a “record of a poet’s states of mind and feelings and his vision of life” (175). Primarily, from the late 1950s to the late 1960s, certain U.S. poets used this phrase.

Confessional poetry, autobiographical, personal, emotional.
