A subset among the Modernists, the Imagists, sought to create clear, precise images using minimal language. One of these Imagists was Amy Lowell, whose poem "Patterns" we looked at last week. This week you'll be looking at one very short poem from the Imagist Ezra Pound. Pound's poem "In a Station of the Metro" was originally much longer, but Pound kept paring it down to its essence. Ultimately, he reduced the poem to two lines. Within those two lines, he created a great deal of meaning. Your job this week is to unpack this meaning. Click the link for the assignment below.
