Imagism: A New Order in Poetry — Quiz

Question 1 • Literature and Composition III

Which is a feature of imagist poetry that is reflected in "Oread"?

Answer
A
the description of multiple images
B
the use of sentimental language
C
the description of a single image
D
the use of abstract language

Explanation

Imagist poetry focuses on presenting a clear, concentrated image. In “Oread,” the speaker describes the sea through the image of a forest, asking it to “whirl your pointed pines” and “cover us with your pools of fir.” These details develop one central, blended image rather than a collection of separate images, so the answer is C, the description of a single image.
