In this thread we explain to david h some varietys/genres/categories of peots, e.g. what is Euro High Modernism? what is American Ellipticism? what are other ones? the Imagists? Also, we can talk about how Don Paterson's Nil Nil and God's Gift To Women are phenomenal, and the reasons whereby.

Also, lecturers recommending fiction for a course which is technical: classic or dud? Stemming from my Legal Theory tutor recommending we read Coetzee's Disgrace and Bernard Schlinke's The Reader. Also, these books: classic or dud?

Also, Scotland's 'National Poetry House' - any info, Jerry [or others in the know]?

I'd say the term 'Euro' post-dates 'High Modernism' by about half a century.

pound,elliot,hd's longer poems are all european high modernists, as are joyce,beckett and others

there are 5 imagists-early pound and hd among them ( as well as one or two of the voracsists (sp) and perhaps depending on whose definfing wcw), the introduction to the penguin anthology imagist poets is one of the better essays on them

dont know american epplictalists

passos seems to be calicfied in nortons, and has been since the late 50s.that said i love him to peices. (he reminds me of a contempary whitman- and proves that yvor winters was wrong when she said that no one could sustain a whitmanic(pun inherent) voice thruout his/her career. which leads me to another thread.
