Furthermore, the biographers of Confessional poets have noticed a shared ambition among all of these writers to become celebrities. In concurrence with the proliferation of popular culture during the 1950s, Confessionalism offered readers with a detailed view of the writer's persona, making Confessional poets into "stars" rather than private creators in the more traditional mode of poets like Robert Frost and Richard Wilbur. In light of the considerable public attention which Confessional poets received and their very intensive desire for this fame, Confessional poetry is now classified by some literary critics as a form of celebrity culture.
