 Imagism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In addition to ten poems by Aldington, seven by H.D. and six by Pound, the book included work by Flint, Skipwith Cannell, Amy Lowell, William Carlos Williams, James Joyce, Ford Madox Ford, Allen Upward and John Cournos.
Pound's editorial choices were based on what he saw as the degree of sympathy that these writers displayed with Imagist precepts, rather than active participation in a group as such.
The appearance of this anthology initiated a critical discussion of the place of the Imagists in the history of 20th-century poetry.

Determined to promote the work of the Imagists, and particularly of Aldington and H.D., Pound determined to publish an anthology under the title Des Imagistes.
In addition to these two poets, he included work by himself, Flint, Skipwith Cannell, Amy Lowell, William Carlos Williams]], James Joyce, Ford Madox Ford, Allen Upward and John Cournos.
The book was published in 1914 and met with little popular or critical success, partly because it had no introduction or commentary to explain what the poets were attempting to do.

The lack of distinction between the writers helped Churchill realize that she had only studied the well-known authors of modernism, while little magazines revealed an entirely new realm of the movement to her.
Churchill received emails from several little magazine scholars, from the daughter of Skipwith Cannell, a modernist poet and friend of Williams, and this past spring, from a gentleman in San Francisco who donated his father’s collection of little magazines to Davidson College.
