| Kenneth Fearing is considered a minor poet of the 1920s and 30s New York circle of proletarian poets. At his peak, he published a variety of poems that captured the alienating powers of modern society. Using cynicism to analyze consumerism's influence on the individual, he focuses on the expiration of the individual's voice within a city subjective to capital-controlled mass production. A theme pervading his poems is the inability to attain significant interpersonal connections. This failure, I argue, results from mass media's infiltration into daily life and Fearing's characters exhibit an inability to communicate; instead, they suffer from a separation brought on by the consumer world around them and their own internal confusion. |
