Six poets — Richard Aldington, H.D., John Gould Fletcher, F. S. Flint, D. H. Lawrence and Amy Lowell — gathered a second year of Imagist work, prefaced by a defence of free verse and hard, clear images. The poems range from Aldington’s London streets and wartime 1915 to Lowell’s spotlit theatres and Fletcher’s ships in the harbour.
