Abstract

This genre is comparatively new and has been started by Charles Olson and Edward Sanders. The genre has high potentiality to wake people to historical truth. History has always been a subject distorted by the government authorities and people in power. Common people tend to know or believe what they are made familiar with. Investigative poetry throws new light on the widely known facts which may not be true. An introduction to this genre has been provided in Foreword in details. A good number of poems have appeared in various journals and anthologies. However, some of the pieces appear here uniquely.
