Jazz poetry is poetry that demonstrates jazz-like rhythm or the feel of improvisation. During the 1920s several poets began to eschew the conventions of rhythm and style; among these were Ezra Pound T. S. Eliot and e. e. cummings. The significance of the simultaneous evolution of poetry and jazz during the 1920s was apparent to many poets of the era resulting in the merging of the two art forms into jazz poetry.
