Seeking a pure artistic expression, they would rid Yiddish poetry of foreign influences and overbearing political and religious rhetoric. Although influenced by their Eastern European heritage, these poets were uniquely American in their focus on exploring the individual. Calling themselves \u003ci\u003eDi Yunge\u003c\/i\u003e (The young ones), this group was led in part by Reuben Iceland. \u003ci\u003eFrom Our\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSpringtime\u003c\/i\u003e is Iceland's memoir as well as a reflection on the lives of the \u003ci\u003eDi Yunge\u003c\/i\u003e poets.
