ImagismMovement in Anglo-American poetry that flourished from 1912 to 1914 and affected much US and British poetry and critical thinking thereafter. A central figure was Ezra Pound, who asserted the principles of free verse, complex imagery, and poetic impersonality. Pound encouraged Hilda Doolittle to sign her verse H D Imagiste and in 1914 edited the Des Imagistes anthology. Poets subsequently influenced by this movement include T S Eliot, William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, and Marianne Moore. Imagism established modernism in English-language verse. |

| There was, for instance, the imagist venture which sought to discover an innovative poetic idiom that would better suit the modern situation, particularly in view of the gap between language and experience, that had been widening ever since the wane of high romanticism. Castro, quoting Rothenberg, explains that the "sense of a poem among poets in this group was that it is 'the record of movement from perception to vision,' a view that represented a kind of hybrid crossing of imagist and surrealist precepts" (118). Long misperceived in the West as a Conceptualist, Ilya Kabakov is, rather, an imagist and a fantasist who constructs situations in which the work's most active site is the viewer's imagination. |
