Puritan poets were 17th-century colonial American writers, especially in New England, whose verse reflected Puritan religious beliefs and daily spiritual concerns. Their poems often focus on sin, faith, suffering, providence, and the hope of salvation, and they frequently use plain, earnest language for devotional or moral purposes.
Example
Puritan poets such as Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor often wrote verse that turns ordinary life into a meditation on faith, doubt, and divine grace.
