John Gould Fletcher Ordre des livres (chronologique)

    John Gould Fletcher s'impose comme l'un des poètes les plus innovants du XXe siècle, étroitement lié au mouvement imagiste. Sa poésie, influencée par le symbolisme français, l'art et la philosophie orientaux, se caractérise par un langage concis, des rythmes nouveaux et une approche concrète de ses sujets. Plus tard dans sa carrière, Fletcher explora des thèmes plus profonds tels que la relation de l'humanité à la nature et la quête individuelle de salut, s'associant aux Fugitives, qui défendaient la vie agraire et les valeurs traditionnelles du Sud.

He published Goblins and Pagodas, a book of poems, in 1916, and Japanese Prints, a critical study, in 1918.Fletcher lived in England for a large portion of his life. While in Europe he associated with Amy Lowell, Ezra Pound, and other Imagist poets.
