The New Apocalypse was a short-lived British poetry movement of the 1940s that rejected the restrained, intellectual style associated with W. H. Auden and his circle. Its poets favored intense feeling, surreal imagery, myth, and a jagged, visionary energy. James Findlay Hendry, Henry Treece, and G. S. Fraser are often linked with the movement, though some writers associated with it were more loosely connected than members of a formal group.

A red moon breaks the city windows open,
seagulls burn through the rain,
and the street bends like a dream
trying to wake itself.
