Poet involved
What happened
In 1915, Lola Ridge moved to New York City, specifically to Greenwich Village, a hub for artists and intellectuals. This relocation was pivotal in her artistic development, as she became immersed in the modernist movement and engaged with other influential writers. The vibrant cultural scene of New York City profoundly shaped her poetic style and thematic focus.
Literary impact
Living in Greenwich Village allowed Ridge to connect with fellow modernists and radical thinkers, which enriched her work. The city's dynamic atmosphere inspired her to experiment with form and content, leading to a more avant-garde approach in her poetry.
