  • John Gould Fletcher - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series John Gould Fletcher - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Gould Fletcher(3 January 1886 – 10 May 1950) John Gould Fletcher was an Imagist poet, author and authority on modern painting. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas to a socially prominent family. After attending Phillips Academy, Andover Fletcher went on to Harvard University from 1903 to 1907, when he dropped out shortly after his father's death. <b>Background</b> Fletcher lived in England for a large portion of his life. While in Europe he associated with <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/amy-lowell/">Amy Lowell</a>, <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/ezra-pound/">Ezra Pound</a>, and other Imagist poets, he was one of the six Imagists who adopted the name and stuck to it until their aims were achieved. Fletcher resumed a liaison with Florence Emily “Daisy” Arbuthnot (née Goold) at her house in Kent. She had been married to Malcolm Arbuthnot and Fletcher's adultery with her was the grounds for the divorce. The couple married on July 5, 1916. Their marriage produced no children, but Arbuthnot’s son and daughter from her previous marriage lived with the couple. On January 18, 1936 he married a noted author of children's books, Charlie May Simon. The two of them built "Johnswood", a residence on the bluffs of the Arkansas River outside Little Rock. They traveled frequently, however, to New York for the intellectual stimulation and to the American Southwest for the climate, after Fletcher began to suffer from arthritis.

  • 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.

  • A a a Bath the Day Is Fresh-Washed and Fair, and There Is a Smell Of
    Bath The day is fresh-washed and fair, and there is a smell of tulips and narcissus in the air. The sunshine pours in at the bath-room window and bores through the water in the bath- tub in lathes and planes of greenish-white. It cleaves the water into flaws like a jewel, and cracks it to bright light. Little spots of sunshine lie on the surface of the water and dance, dance, and their reflections wobble deliciously over the ceiling; a stir of my finger sets them whirring, reeling. I move a foot and the planes of light in the water jar. I lie back and laugh, and let the green-white wa- ter, the sun-flawed beryl water, flow over me. The day is almost too bright to bear, the green water covers me from the too bright day. I will lie here awhile and play with the water and the sun spots. The sky is blue and high. A crow flaps by the window, and there is a whiff of tulips and narcissus in the air. Amy Lowell1 Reflections I love the invitation this poem seems to offer—to idleness and luxury and pleasant languor. Set in springtime, the poem is relatively untroubled; its only real conflict is that “the day is almost too bright to bear.” What a delicious retreat. Lowell’s poem offers an opportunity to mention something about form: namely, the prose poem, a contradictory sounding name. Here is how one editor, Peter Johnson, explains it in the first issue of The Prose Poem: An International Journal: “Just as black humor straddles the fine line between comedy and tragedy, so the prose poem plants one foot in prose, the other in poetry, both heels resting precariously on banana peels.” In other words, the prose poem looks like prose, but reads like poetry and uses certain traditionally poetic techniques— compression, repetition, fragmentation and, most especially in this case, precise imagery.

  • The Queer Modernist Poetics of H.D., Gertrude Stein, and Amy Lowell
    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 2.24 (IIJIF) The Queer Modernist Poetics of H.D., Gertrude Stein, and Amy Lowell Turni Chakrabarti Research Scholar Department of English University of Delhi. Abstract: In recent years, queer theory has allowed us to view with a new lens the works of Modernist artists whose queerness had been erased by heteronormative and patriarchal criticism. H.D., Getrude Stein, and Amy Lowell were poets who used Modernist aesthetics in order to showcase as well as celebrate their queer subjectivity. This paper attempts to show how, during the Modernist period, H.D., Gertrude Stein and Amy Lowell wrote poetry that was radical not only in terms of form but also in terms of their content. For years, the queerness of their poetry was either dismissed as unimportant, or erased for being too dangerous. This erasure of their lesbian subjectivities had resulted in a very limited understanding of their poetic projects. The queer reclamation of their poetry has allowed us to comprehend how they created poetry that subverted the phallocentric conception of erotic desire. Keywords: Modernism, queer poetics, heteronormative, desire, subjectivity.

It is only after centuries that ancient tales and certain heroic figures become a part of the literature of a race or nation. United States history is rich in the names of outstanding characters and incidents on whioh to build such stories and even myths. We need only to read of the Colonial settlements, the Revolutionary War, the settling of the West, etc., to see that since the very beginnings of our government there have been women and men who have been prominent because of their achievements on behalf of an ideal.
