 Anna Akhmatova
The Acmeists, through their periodical Apollon ("Apollo"; 1909-17), rejected the esoteric vagueness and affectations of Symbolism and sought to replace them with "beautiful clarity," compactness, simplicity, and perfection of form--all qualities in which Akhmatova excelled from the outset.
In 1964 she was awarded the Etna-Taormina prize, an international poetry prize awarded in Italy, and in 1965 she received an honorary doctoral degree from Oxford University.
In 1923 she entered a period of almost complete poetic silence and literary ostracism, and no volume of her poetry was published in the Soviet Union until 1940.

 Akhmatova, Anna --  Encyclopædia Britannica
In the second decade of the 20th century, Symbolism was challenged by two other schools, the Acmeists, who favoured clarity over metaphysical vagueness, and the brash Futurists, who wanted to throw all earlier and most contemporary poetry “from the steamship of modernity.” Among the Acmeists, Nikolay Gumilyov (1886–1921), who stressed poetic craftsmanship over the occult,...

 RPO -- Selected Poetry of Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965)
His poetry from this time on reflected his religious beliefs: Journey of the Magi (1927), Animula (1929), Ash Wednesday (1930), Marina (1930), and especially the magnificent Four Quartets (Burnt Norton, The Dry Salvages, East Coker, and Little Gidding; 1935-1942), by many considered the greatest long poem of the twentieth century.
At first Eliot drew from French symbolist poetry, especially the works of Jules Laforgue, but with the friendship and advice of Ezra Pound, his wife Vivienne, and others, he came fully into his own as a poet with Gerontion and The Waste Land.
His first books of poetry were Prufrock, and Other Observations (1917), Poems (1919), Ara Vos Prec (1920), The Waste Land (1922), and Poems, 1909-1925.

 The Italian Futurist Book
Since 1905, Marinetti had promoted from the pages of his magazine Poesia ( Poetry) the idea of verso libero (free-verse), which was intended to break the uniformity of syntax of the literature of the past.

 imagists on Encyclopedia.com
group of English and American poets writing from 1909 to about 1917, who were united by their revolt against the exuberant imagery and diffuse sentimentality of 19th-century poetry.
Influenced by classicism, by Chinese and Japanese poetry, and by the French symbolists, the imagists stated that poetic ideas are best expressed by the actual rendering of concrete images without superfluous commentary.
In its revival of the clarity and conciseness of classical poetry and in its general liberating effect on literature, imagism has been an important influence on 20th-century poetry.

In his essays, especially the later ones, Eliot advocates a traditionalism in religion, society, and literature that seems at odds with his pioneer activity as a poet.

 TWENTIETH CENTURY LITERATURE
Petar Kocic (1877-1916) was close to this, and it is often difficult to define the line between poetry in prose and in his narratives (From the Mountain and Under the Mountain I-III, 1902-1905).
A third poet, and productive novelist, Aleksandar Vuco (1897-1985) was the only one who wrote humorous poetry according to the principles of the surrealists (Humour Sleeping, 1930) and children's poetry (The Exploits of the "Five Little Roosters" Company, 1933).
Finally, the youngest of them Oskar Davico (1909-1989), in his exceptionally productive novelist works, went the furthest in relating surrealist writing techniques and ideological engagement to the leftists.

 MSN Encarta - Ezra Pound
In about 1909 Pound became the founder and, for a time, the leader of the school of poetry called imagism, featuring succinct verse “which presents an intellectual and emotional ‘complex’ in an instant of time.” Pound’s own poetry of this period appeared in such volumes as Personae (1910), Cathay (1915), and Lustra (1916).
To this end, Pound extensively translated poetry from the Provençal, Japanese, and Chinese languages.
Pound was a chief architect of English and American literary modernism, a movement characterized by experimentation in literary form and content, exploration of the literary traditions of non-Western and ancient cultures, and rejection of the traditions of the immediate past.
