My first response to the articles was that they were in debt and informative concerning poetry. I highly respect H.D. and Lowell simply because they’re women following their passion for writing in very sexist times. Their dense lives outside of poetry was impressive and interesting. This gave a face behind the writing. Usually knowing a bit about an author can help understand what they write. It also helps understand why they might have had the passion for poetry they had.
I also was impressed by the way Lowell brought imagism to her poetry like the other two poets. This helps their contributions to modern poetry tie together because it provides one particular characteristic of poetry they all engaged in using. I noticed that Ezra seems to get more notoriety than the other two poets. It makes me wonder, is it because he really contributed more to modern poetry, or if he was just a male. Besides that, I noticed along with Imagism, he fathered Vorticism. This made me do a a little research into the meaning, and its a form of writing that related art to industrialization. It was also influenced by Cubism.
