imagist manifesto (needed for essay #2)

Essay assignment number 2 asks you to consult the imagist manifesto but does not (yet) provide the link to it right there. We hope to fix that, but meantime here's the manifesto:

From an Imagist manifesto:

* To use the language of common speech, but to employ the exact word, not the nearly-exact, nor the merely decorative word.
* 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.
* Absolute freedom in the choice of subject.
* 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.
* To produce a poetry that is hard and clear, never blurred nor indefinite.
* Finally, most of us believe that concentration is of the very essence of poetry.

audio introduction to week 4 (with mention of week 5)

Here is a link to the audio introduction to week 4: [ MP3 ]. It's 17 minutes long, and I hope you'll listen to the very end, especially if you need a little pep talk before approaching the "difficult" poetry of Gertrude Stein. Along the way I have something to say about Stein's verbal portrait of Picasso, and of the whole modernist approach to portraiture generally. Think about Williams's "Portrait of Lady" in this respect. WCW incorporates doubts about the efficacy of his or anyone's ability to present a portrait of a person. Stein has fewer doubts about her capacity to find some kind of portrait that will do the job, but she clearly rejects traditional ideas of the portrait. What better a way to attempt this than to portray Picasso, who has his own means of doubting traditional portrayal. At left: Baroness Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven, posing in one of her infamous Dadaist costumes.
