In contrast, imagist poetry, although riddled with conflicting definitions, was broadly characterized by brevity, precision, purity of texture and concentration of meaning: as Pound stated, it should use no superfluous word, no adjective, which does not reveal something it does not use images as ornaments. The image itself is the speech . It was this freshness and directness of approach which means that, as Peter Jones says in his invaluable Introduction, imagistic ideas still lie at the centre of our poetic practice .\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45084403466391,"sku":"9780141185705","price":390.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780141185705.webp?v=1767636803","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/imagist-poetry-9780141185705","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
