By the time Imagism as a movement had run its course, Amy Lowell was seen as its leader. Although Imagism effectively ended in 1917, its impact on the literary world was immense. Imagism was part of a larger movement known as Modernism and Modernism opened the door for more unconventional styles of art and poetry. Free verse, surrealism and other avant-garde styles became more popular as the century passed. And Imagism itself survived in amateur writings and readers like me who appreciate its clarity and beauty.
