MODERNISM & IMAGIST POETRY Get out the notes on modernism and open to page 600 in your book.

Imagists Image is the essence of poetry Poetry should be expressed economically-brief, clear, concise Instantly convey meaning and emotion Language should be conversational No topic unsuitable

Juxtaposition- What two images have been juxtaposed in this poem? What effect does this juxtaposition have? What emotion might it produce in the reader? The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough.

In a Station of the Metro Ezra Pound The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough.

A Pact Ezra Pound I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman - I have detested you long enough. I come to you as a grown child Who has had a pig-headed father; I am old enough now to make friends. It was you that broke the new wood, Now is a time for carving. We have one sap and one root - Let there be commerce between us.

Apostrophe I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman - I have detested you long enough. I come to you as a grown child Who has had a pig-headed father; I am old enough now to make friends. It was you that broke the new wood, Now is a time for carving. We have one sap and one root - Let there be commerce between us. What is the apostrophe in “A Pact” Why might Pound have used this figure of speech?

What qualities of “imagist” writing can be found in Pound’s poems? What qualities of modernism can be applied to Pound’s poetry?

Your Turn Think of two distinct images that capture your attention.. Write two-three sentences (ONLY) about this image. What do you see, hear, et. Now, try a compact, concise poem that captures the essence of that image using juxtaposition
