The critical insistence that poetry be precise affected every one of these poets, and looking at how they responded to this insistence offers a new perspective on their achievements and, by extension, twentieth-century poetry in general. Ezra Pound sought to associate poetry with the precision of modern science, technology and mathematics as a way to eliminate or reduce error. Robert Frost, however, welcomed imprecision as a fundamental aspect of existence that the poet could use. Marianne Moore appreciated the value of both precision and imprecision, especially with respect to her religious perspective on human and natural phenomena. By analyzing these particular poets' reaction to the value placed on precision, Barry Ahearn explores how that emphasis influenced the broader culture, literary culture and twentieth-century Modernist American poetry. 606 $aPoetry 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aPoetry and Poetics 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 14$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a811.309 676 $a811.5209356 700 $aAhearn$b Barry$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0758323 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485023103321 996 $aPound, Frost, Moore, and Poetic Precision$92209019 997 $aUNINA
