News at Eleven: Of the seven poets who were the key members

of the group, only two are still reasonably famous: DH Lawrence, who was briefly roped in for publicity ­purposes, and Ezra Pound, who despite having invented the movement soon went on to co-found "vorticism". For the record, the other imagists were: Pound's sometime girlfriend Hilda Doolittle, aka HD, and her husband Richard Aldington; FS Flint; John Gould Fletcher; and, a late jumper on the bandwagon, the plump and plutocratic Amy Lowell.
