The Imagist Anthology

The Imagist Anthology is a collection of poems from the Imagist movement, which emerged in early 20th-century poetry. Imagism aimed to break away from ornate language and traditional forms, focusing instead on clear, sharp images that evoke precise moments or feelings. Poets like Ezra Pound and H.D. sought simplicity, directness, and vivid imagery, often using free verse and minimal words. This anthology showcases their innovative approach, emphasizing economy of language and visual clarity to create powerful, immediate impressions for the reader.
