Edited by Ezra Pound and published in 1914, this slim anthology gathered the poets who wanted hard, clear images in place of Victorian ornament. Richard Aldington’s Choricos opens it; H.D., F. S. Flint, Amy Lowell, William Carlos Williams, James Joyce, Ford Madox Hueffer and Pound himself follow, with short poems in free verse and Greek-inflected lyric.
