by Stephen Simpkins (Author)
Stephen Simpkins joins contemporary colleagues such as, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Ezra Pound, F.S. Flint, Richard Aldington, Amy Lowell, Skipwith Cannell and James Joyce with his avant-garde, Imagist poetry. In the March 1913 issue of Poetry that contained, "A Few Don'ts by an Imagiste" Ezra Pound opened with an introductory note defining Des Imagistes or, Imagist poetry by declaring, "That which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time." Stephen Simpkins' Imagism is brilliant. After the result of long examination, each brief word becomes an impact to the overall piece and defines the results for this wonderful poetry. This is Stephen Simpkins' first publication Hopefully many more will follow.
