<BODY> <h2>Enjambment: William Carlos Williams and the Imagists</h2><br> <I>"Highly Recommended. This program is an invaluable guide for students of all ages interested in American poetry and the writers who were influential in creating the fresh and unique rhythmic style which is distinctly American."</I> -National Media Review<BR> Professor James Ragan focuses on the poetry of <B>William Carlos Williams</B> and other imagists, such as <B>Marianne Moore, Hilda Doolittle</B>, and <B>Amy Lowell</B>. Beginning with a reading of <I>The Red Wheelbarrow</I>, Professor Ragan then extends his lecture to include Williams’ ideas about objectivism, his concentration on living for the moment, and what the poet means by his famous statement, "no ideas but in things." Professor Ragan also explains the technique of "enjambment" - a method which extends a line’s meaning into the next, connects thoughts together, and propels the reader through a body of work. 07DR JSCA 60 min. <A HREF="index.htm" target=_top>Home</a><br> </BODY>
