    Imagism

    Ezra Pound (1885-1972) is often noted as the founding figure in the Imagist movement in poetry. Imagists were reacting against the floweriness of Romantic and Victorian poetry styles, and wanted a direct style instead. They also experimented with free verse rather than being bound to a particular metric pattern. Some other names associated with the Imagist movement were Amy Lowell and Richard Aldington.
