C.The early 20th century saw the emergence of many new poetic movements, which can also be considered "-isms", some of which were Imagism and Objectivism. Imagism appeared in 1909 at the beginning of the 20th century and succeeded the Symbolist movement. While symbolism was intensely complex and often difficult to interpret, imagism brought forth intellect and emotion into the common language of 20th-century audiences. As in Ezra Pound's book, “In a Subway Station,” she writes, “faces in a crowd”; which was not only a common sight in the early 20th century, but also a common language among people of the time? Additionally, Imagism consisted of great freedom in the subject matter it was written about and the use of sight and sound. Unlike its predecessor, Imagism created an image rather than an entire scene or painting. “In a Metro Station” consists of two lines that express a simple image of everyday life in the 20th century. He creates and provides images of multiple “faces in the crowd”; and “Petals on a black, wet branch,” instead of describing the entire subway station or the tree as a whole. In creating the single image, Imagism also kept the language simple in that it was very punctual and often concise, much like the two lines from “In a Metro Station.” Imagism quickly gave rise to another “-ism”; Objectivism. Like Imagism, Objectivism consisted of simple language and terse topics; it was short, sweet and to the point. Objectivists, such as William Carlos Williams, have often emphasized the value of the objective world. In his poem “This Is Just to Say,” Williams expresses the value of the “plums that were in the cooler.” Objective poetry was meant to capture the middle of the paper...the “Black Logos.” Without necessarily being religious, it refers to God, Heaven and the star of Bethlehem. In addition to this characteristic, McKay also expresses the complexity of being black in a white world by using intense imagery such as "steel blue eyes" (referring to the eyes of a white woman) and " the little guys, the lynchers that were to be." He refers to white people as the fate of black people and yet he contradicts God as white and black people. He says that even though white people think they are one A high and mighty God, black people are truly God because just as Jesus was persecuted as a minority, so are African American people. This poem, among many other poems by Claude McKay, truly expresses the emotions and. the struggles of an African-American poet from the era of slavery to the end of the Harlem Renaissance..
