1. Imagism

2. Imagism flourished in Britain and in the United States for a brief period that is generally considered to be somewhere between 1909 and As part of the modernist movement, away from the sentimentality and moralizing tone of nineteenth-century Victorian poetry,
The Imagist movement included English and American poets in the early twentieth century who wrote free verse and were devoted to "clarity of expression through the use of precise visual images." A strand of modernism, Imagism was officially launched in 1912 when Ezra Pound read and marked up a poem by Hilda Doolittle, signed it "H.D. Imagiste," and sent it to Harriet Monroe at Poetry\

3. Imagism was a reaction against the flabby abstract language and "careless thinking" of Georgian Romanticism. Imagist poetry aimed to replace muddy abstractions with exactness of observed detail, apt metaphors, and economy of language. For example, Pound's "In a Station of the Metro" started from a glimpse of beautiful faces in a dark subway and elevated that perception into a crisp vision by finding an intensified equivalent image. The metaphor provokes a sharp, intuitive discovery in order to get at the essence of life.

5. IMAGIST, 
   A group of American and English poets whose poetic   program was formulated about 1912 by Ezra Pound--in   conjunction with fellow poets Hilda Doolittle (H.D.), Richard   Aldington, and F.S. Flint--and was inspired by the critical views of   T.E. Hulme, in revolt against the careless thinking
and   Romantic optimism he saw prevailing.

6. The Imagists wrote succinct verse of dry clarity and hard outline in   which an exact visual image made a total poetic statement. Imagism was   a successor to the French Symbolist movement, but, whereas   Symbolism had an affinity with music, Imagism sought analogy with   sculpture. In 1914 Pound turned to Vorticism, and Amy Lowell largely   took over leadership of the group. Among others who wrote Imagist   poetry were John Gould Fletcher and Harriet Monroe; and Conrad Aiken,   Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, D.H. Lawrence, and T.S. Eliot were   influenced by it in their own poetry.

7.  The four Imagist anthologies and the magazines Poetry and The Egoist  , in the United States and England, respectively, published   the work of a dozen Imagist poets.

8. From an Imagist manifesto
here is the Imagist Manifesto, mapping out their view of what poetry should be.
1)  To use the language of common speech, but to employ the exact word, not the nearly-exact, nor the merely decorative word. 
2)We believe that the individuality of a poet may often be better expressed in free verse than in conventional forms. In poetry, a new cadence means a new idea.
 3.  Absolute freedom in the choice of subject. 

9. 4.) To present an image. We are not a school of painters, but we believe that poetry should render particulars exactly and not deal in vague generalities, however magnificent and sonorous. It is for this reason that we oppose the cosmic poet, who seems to us to shirk the real difficulties of his art. 
5.)  To produce a poetry that is hard and clear, never blurred nor indefinite.
 6 )Finally, most of us believe that concentration is of the very essence of poetry.
