My understanding of the poets and the poetry itself has evolved a lot through this past week. I evolved into having a deeper understanding of imagism and that the ultimate goal of it is to create simplistic work that is easily communicated. I appreciated it even more after learning that it is the result of the disposing of the victorian era and romanticism.
Learning about Pound, lowell’s, and HD’s backgrounds was also the hugest factor that impacted the way I read their works. It was very interesting to read where they came from, what they did and why they did it. Especially when we took a deeper look into their personal definitions of imagism, I began to see the rules they’ve created for themselves in their own writing.
Reading my classmates responses and participating in the class discussions also added another tier to perspectives on what i am readins as well as validating my thoughts.
