Imagism: A New Order in Poetry

Question 2 • DRHS Literature and Composition III

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

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

Explanation

Imagist poetry often focuses on one sharply presented image. In “Oread,” the speaker asks the sea to act like a forest, using vivid details such as “pointed pines” and “pools of fir” to create one concentrated image. The poem is not sentimental or abstract, and its images work together rather than describing several separate scenes.
