Imagism

Imagism was a poetic movement that emerged in the early 20th century, emphasizing clarity, precision, and vivid imagery. It sought to represent the world through concrete details and sensory experiences instead of abstract ideas or elaborate forms. Founded by poets like Ezra Pound and H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Imagism encouraged brevity and focused on creating sharp, clear images in language. By using language efficiently, Imagist poets aimed to evoke emotions and thoughts directly, making their work more relatable and impactful. This approach influenced modern poetry and remains significant for its focus on visual imagery and succinct expression.
