Ezra Pound's “In a Station of the Metro”

Tokyo Metro by Shteuf on DevianArt

In light of next class' presentation on Ezra Pound's poem “In a Station of the Metro”, we would like to share some topics for you to reflect upon and then discuss with us:

• Firstly, What do you see in this poem? What image strikes you the most?
• How does this poem manage to capture a moment, an “apparition”?
• How can this poem connect with the dichotomy individual/collective brought up by P. Howarth in “Why Write like This?”

Until then, have a nice weekend!
