Imagist Poetry
"Imagism was a literary movement established in the early 1900's by Ezra Pound and other poets. The Imagists concentrated on the direct presentation of images or word pictures. An Imagist poem expressed the essence of an object, person or incident, without providing explanations. Imagists hope to freeze a single moment in time and to capture the emotions of that moment. To accomplish that purpose, the Imagists used the language of everyday speech, carefully choosing each word. They also shied away from traditional poetic patterns, focusing instead on creating new, musical rhythms" (725). Authors: Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle)
