White Anglo-Saxon Protestant
Therefore, poets who wrote free verse and Confessional poetry were stereotyped as socially progressive, anti-racist, and as New Left socialists. New Formalist and New Narrative poets were stereotyped as old money White Anglo-Saxon Protestant preppies and as Anglophiles filled with hatred of the American Revolution and nostalgia for the British Empire. American poetry in traditional verse forms was, according to poets and critics who believed in "The Free Verse Revolution", reactionary, Eurocentric, un-American, white supremacist, and even fascist.
