John Gould Fletcher

    John Gould Fletcher se erige como uno de los poetas más innovadores del siglo XX, estrechamente vinculado al movimiento imagista. Su poesía, influenciada por el simbolismo francés, el arte y la filosofía oriental, se caracteriza por un lenguaje conciso, ritmos novedosos y un enfoque concreto de la temática. Más adelante en su carrera, Fletcher exploró temas más profundos como la relación de la humanidad con la naturaleza y la búsqueda individual de la salvación, asociándose con los Fugitives, quienes defendían la vida agraria y los valores tradicionales del sur.
