Imagism was a movement in early 20th-century poetry that emphasized:
* Concrete imagery: Using vivid, precise language to create clear and impactful images in the reader's mind.
* Directness: Avoiding unnecessary embellishment or commentary, letting the image speak for itself.
* Free verse: Breaking away from traditional rhyme and meter to allow for a more natural flow of language.
Key Imagist poets include:
* Ezra Pound
* Amy Lowell
* H.D. (Hilda Doolittle)
* Richard Aldington
