Imagist Poetry by Peter Jones

Description

“Imagist Poetry,” edited by Peter Jones, is a collection that brings together the works of poets associated with the Imagist movement, a significant literary movement in the early 20th century. This anthology provides readers with a comprehensive introduction to the core principles and key poets of the Imagist movement.

The Imagist movement, which emerged around 1912, sought to break away from the ornate and verbose style of the Victorian and Edwardian eras and instead focus on concise, vivid, and imagistic language. Imagist poets aimed to convey powerful and evocative imagery with economy of words, often drawing inspiration from visual art and the natural world.
