Description

Des Imagistes: An Anthology, edited by Ezra Pound, is a seminal collection that emerged in the early 20th century, championing the Imagist movement in poetry. Released in 1914, this anthology showcases a diverse range of poets, including H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Amy Lowell, and Richard Aldington, who sought to strip away romanticism and embrace clarity, precision, and vivid imagery in their verse. Pound's introduction articulates the principles of Imagism, emphasizing directness of expression and the use of concrete images to evoke strong emotions. The anthology features concise poems that capture fleeting moments and sensory experiences, often drawing on nature, urban life, and personal reflections. While some elements may feel dated to contemporary readers, the collection's impact on modern poetry is undeniable, influencing countless poets and movements thereafter. Des Imagistes remains essential for understanding the evolution of poetic form and the quest for clearer, more impactful expression in literature.
