Description
Mary Barnard, American Imagist by Sarah Barnsley offers a new perspective on the story of American modernist poetry. Until recently, poet Mary Barnard's work has received little attention, but this book sheds light on her own poetry and poetics through her correspondence with influential figures such as Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams. Barnard's search for a poetry grounded in native speech is linked to efforts within American modernism for new forms. Her "spare but musical" aesthetic, derived from Greek metric and American speech rhythms, complements the work of Pound and Williams. This book presents Barnard as a key figure in American modernism, uncovering a previously untold chapter in twentieth-century poetry. The first book to draw on the Barnard archives at Yale's Beinecke Library, Mary Barnard, American Imagist provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of this important poet.
