    The New York School of poetry began in 1960 in New York City and included poets such as John Ashbery, Barbara Guest, Kenneth Koch, and Frank O'Hara. Heavily influenced by surrealism and modernism, their poetry was serious but also ironic and incorporated an urban sensibility. A second generation arose in the 1960s including Ted Berrigan, Ron Padgett, Anne Waldman, and Joe Brainard. Their scene grew around downtown New York and was associated with the Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church. The New York School continues to influence poets today.
