Because the subject matter was so personal, the work of several prominent mid-twentieth century poets has been termed "confessional" poetry.
由于题材过于个人化,二十世纪中叶几位著名诗人的.作品被称为“自白”诗。
To treat their poems mainly as documents of personal experience is not just to diminish the poets' achievement, but to ignore their unanimous disdain for the idea of confessional poetry.
