  • Walter Pater — Imagism — Objectivist Verse
    22 WALTER PATER — IMAGISM — OBJECTIVIST VERSE Richard Parker (The University of Sussex) Abstract In this paper I make a two-fold argument; first that the Objectivist inheritance from modernism is, in a specific sense, Paterian, and secondly, that this Paterian influence (manifested principally in the form of the Paterian aesthetic moment) is not, as might be assumed, in conflict with the political tendencies exhibited by my central examples—Ezra Pound and Louis Zukofsky—but that the arguably apolitical aesthetic moment is in fact key to their political understandings. I will begin analysing how the Paterian moment lingers in Pound's poetry, especially his Imagist and Vorticist work, and is still at the core of his poetics when he begins The Cantos . I will then go on to argue that this same Paterian aesthetic moment continues in the early work of second-generation Modernists the Objectivists, and will look at the works of Louis as a representative example. I will then argue that this group of poets' Communism is not a break with their engagement with Paterian aestheticism, but that the Paterian moment is in fact alloyed with their understanding of Marxist-Leninism. The engagement with the far left that is generally supposed to mark these writers' defining divide with their modernist forebears will therefore be shown to be more closely linked to the older generation's practices than it might be thought and I will, finally, question the apparently aesthetic basis of Pound's alignment with the far-right. A consensus has developed regarding Walter Pater's influence upon the early stages of literary modernism.

  • The Fragmentation of Imagism It Was 1912, and a New Mode of Poetry Was Taking Root
    The Fragmentation of Imagism It was 1912, and a new mode of poetry was taking root. Sparked by the ideas of T.E. Hulme and from distaste of the drippy sentimentalism of the Romantic era (Britannica “Imagist”), Ezra Pound, Richard Aldington, and H.D. literally wrote the rules of Imagism. Their dry, concise look at an image or “complex,” as Pound described it, helped lay the foundation for modernist poetry. However, the Imagists’ granite rules could not ensure strict adherence to their form, not even from founding members of Imagism themselves. As the years went by, the Imagists themselves grew weary of their own form by both their own admittance and through their later works. Ezra Pound was the first leader of the Imagist movement, and his autocratic grip on the concept of Imagism may be partly to blame for the fragmentation of the movement. Pound makes it quite clear that, “At least for myself, I want [twentieth-century poetry] so, austere, direction, free from emotional slither (“A Retrospect” 23).” He carefully selected and edited poems for published volumes of Imagist poetry, but the appearance of the popular and wealthy poet heiress Amy Lowell swept in a new democratic format for the group’s publications. Authors were to select what they considered their best work, without the stamp of approval from Pound deeming it true to the Imagist credo (Bradshaw 159). Amy Lowell and Ezra Pound clashed quite famously over the direction Imagism would take, as seen in Lowell’s poem to Pound, harshly dubbed “Astigmatism.” The poem pulls no punches; the analogy is clear in Lowell’s image of the Poet smashing lovely flowers of all kinds, saying “They are useless.

  • Late Modernist Poetics and George Schneeman's Collaborations with the New York School Poets
    Timothy Keane Studies in Visual Arts and Communication: an international journal Vol 1, No 2 (2014) on-line ISSN 2393 - 1221 No Real Assurances: Late Modernist Poetics and George Schneeman’s Collaborations with the New York School Poets Timothy Keane City University of New York Abstract: Painter George Schneeman’s collaborations with the New York School poets represent an under-examined, vast body of visual-textual hybrids that resolve challenges to mid-and-late century American art through an indirect alliance with late modernist literary practices. Schneeman worked with New York poets intermittently from 1966 into the early 2000s. This article examines these collagist works from a formalist perspective, uncovering how they incorporate gestural techniques of abstract art and the poetic use of juxtaposition, vortices, analogies, and pictorial and lexical imagism to generate non-representational, enigmatic assemblages. I argue that these late modernist works represent an authentically experimental form, violating boundaries between art and writing, disrupting the venerated concept of single authorship, and resisting the demands of the marketplace by affirming for their creators a unity between art-making and daily life—ambitions that have underpinned every twentieth century avant-garde movement. On first seeing George Schneeman’s painting in the 1960s, poet Alice Notley asked herself, “Is this [art] new? Or old fashioned?”1 Notley was probably reacting to Schneeman’s unassuming, intimate representations of Tuscan landscape and what she called their “privacy of relationship.” The potential newness Notley detected in Schneeman’s “old-fashioned” art might be explained by how his small-scale and quiet paintings share none of the self-conscious flamboyance in much American painting of the 1960s and 1970s.

  • Ezra Pound's Imagist Theory and T .S . Eliot's Objective Correlative
    Ezra Pound’s Imagist theory and T .S . Eliot’s objective correlative JESSICA MASTERS Abstract Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot were friends and collaborators. The effect of this on their work shows similar ideas and methodological beliefs regarding theory and formal technique usage, though analyses of both theories in tandem are few and far between. This essay explores the parallels between Pound’s Imagist theory and ideogrammic methods and Eliot’s objective correlative as outlined in his 1921 essay, ‘Hamlet and His Problems’, and their similar intellectual debt to Walter Pater and his ‘cult of the moment’. Eliot’s epic poem, ‘The Waste Land’ (1922) does not at first appear to have any relationship with Pound’s Imagist theory, though Pound edited it extensively. Further investigation, however, finds the same kind of ideogrammic methods in ‘The Waste Land’ as used extensively in Pound’s Imagist poetry, showing that Eliot has intellectual Imagist heritage, which in turn encouraged his development of the objective correlative. The ultimate conclusion from this essay is that Pound and Eliot’s friendship and close proximity encouraged a similarity in their theories that has not been fully explored in the current literature. Introduction Eliot’s Waste Land is I think the justification of the ‘movement,’ of our modern experiment, since 1900 —Ezra Pound, 1971 Ezra Pound (1885–1972) and Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888–1965) were not only poetic contemporaries but also friends and collaborators. Pound was the instigator of modernism’s first literary movement, Imagism, which centred on the idea of the one-image poem. A benefit of Pound’s theoretically divisive Imagist movement was that it prepared literary society to welcome the work of later modernist poets such as Eliot, who regularly used Imagist techniques such as concise composition, parataxis and musical rhythms to make his poetry, specifically ‘The Waste Land’ (1922), decidedly ‘modern’.

A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD Department of English and Creative Writing Roehampton University 2018 DAVIES 2 Abstract stack: Minimalist Poetics consists of a portfolio of practice-led research — a volume-length minimalist poem entitled stack — and a critical essay. The poem applies and adapts several minimalist writing strategies, which are evaluated in the critical essay to create a text that is rich in imagery yet indeterminate in meaning. In addition, stack is innovative in its structural approach — through original use of enjambment, footnoting and repetition, lines may be treated as discrete entities and, also, as combinations. A key research question that the practice- led component and the critical essay interrogate is the applicability and development of the poetics of the “New Sentence”, and other formally innovative approaches in the field of minimalist writing The first part of the critical essay contextualises the creative portfolio in relation to the field of minimalist poetics as a whole.

    I BETWEEN POSITIVISM AND Several critics have been intrigued by the gap between late AND MAGISM Victorian poetry and the more »modern« poetry of the 1920s. This book attempts to get to grips with the watershed by BETWEEN analysing one school of poetry and criticism written in the first decade of the 20th century until the end of the First World War. T To many readers and critics, T.E. Hulme and the Imagists . E POSITIVISM represent little more than a footnote. But they are more HULME . than mere stepping-stones in the transition. Besides being experimenting poets, most of them are acute critics of art and literature, and they made the poetic picture the focus of their attention. They are opposed not only to the monopoly FLEMMING OLSEN T AND T.S. ELIOT: of science, which claimed to be able to decide what truth and .

  • F. S. Flint and Ezra Pound / 2003
    http://www.englishworld2011.info/ F. S. FLINT AND EZRA POUND / 2003 * * * The point is that exactly the same activity is at work as in the highest verse. That is the avoidance of conventional language in order to get the exact curve of the thing. s a # * * * A powerfully imaginative mind seizes and combines at the same instant all the important ideas of its poem or picture, and while it works with one of them, it is at the same instant working with and modifying all in their relation to it and never losing sight of their bearings on each other—as the motion of a snake's body goes through all parts at once and its volition acts at the same instant in coils which go contrary ways. A romantic movement must have an end of the very nature of the thing. It may be deplored, but it can't be helped—wonder must cease to be wonder. I guard myself here from all the consequences of the analogy, but it expresses at any rate the inevitableness of the process. A literature of wonder must have an end as inevitably as a strange land loses its strangeness when one lives in it. Think of the lost ecstasy of the Elizabethans. 'Oh my America, my new found land,'3 think of what it meant to them and of what it means to us. Wonder can only be the attitude of a man passing from one stage to another, it can never be a permanently fixed thing. 1911-12 1924 3. Line 27 of John Donne's "To His Mistress Going to Bed." F.

    IMAGE AND MOOD Recent Poems by Michael Bullock Jack F.

It may be helpful to divide Bullock's long career as a poet into four phases, beginning with ( ι ) Transmutations ( 1938 ) ; resuming with ( 2 ) Sunday is a Day of Incest ( 1961 ), Poems of Solitude, translated from the Chinese with Jerome Ch'ên ( 1961 ), World Without Beginning Amen! ( 1963 ), and Zwei Stimmen in meinem Mund/Two Voices in my Mouth, a two-language selection with German translations by Hedwig Rhode (1967) ; continuing with (3) A Savage Darkness (1969) and Black Wings White Dead (1978); and culminating with (4) Lines in the Dark Wood ( 1981 ), Quadriga for Judy ( 1982), Prisoner of the Rain: Poems in Prose (1983), Brambled Heart (1986), Vancouver Moods (1986), and Poems on Green Paper (1987).2 Many of the images and symbols that grow and spread throughout his work first appear in Transmutations, in which a TLS reviewer found "the secret intensity of life and the strangeness of beauty." This prelude is marked by eclectic experimentation, especially with Imagism, Surrealism, and Orientalism. At this stage, the nineteen-year-old poet had read one poem by Ezra Pound ("The Garden"), plus one number of the Imagist Anthology, in which he discovered affinities with Pound, Aldington, and Lawrence.

  • 3. Modernism and the Beat Poetry of Allen Ginsberg
    77 3. Modernism and the Beat poetry of Allen Ginsberg 3.1 Introduction In your study your problem will be to get from the Modernists to the Beats. - William Everson- ,i This chapter will explore the proposed double-sided relationship between the Beat,. ·' poetry of Allen Ginsberg and the modernist movement. It will firstly investigate the ' · Beat reaction against the institutionalised form of high modernism, with its emph.asis )( on impersonality and intellect. The first section of this chapter will therefore set out to define the nature of the l_iterary situation which Ginsberg's Beat poetry re~cted : , ... against by discussing the l,iterary status quo in post-war America, as well as the 1; f nature of Ginsberg's reaction to this. Following this, the discussion will turn to the ways in which this rejection involves a 3! simultaneous assimilation of early avant-garde modernist aesthetics suited ,.,to the spontaniety, individuality, exp(3rimentalism and spirituality of the Beat project. In this ~ ,; ·~ · section of the chapter, the movements of imagism and surrealism, identified as influential in Ginsberg's Beat poetics, will be discussed. The section contains theoretical discussions of the movements in question, together with evaluations and discussions of specific poems from the volumes identified in chapter 1. The,. aim of . .: ... these discussions is to determine the influence and relevance of these two modernist movements regarding Ginsberg's Beat poetry, indicating the way in which Beat poetry eclectically assimilated less institutionalised developments within the modernist movement to counteract the perceived hegemony of high modernism. 3.2 The reaction against modernist poetics The Revolution has been accomplished: noble has been changed to no bull.
