Pound, Frost, Moore and Poetic Precision: Science in American
Modernist Poetry examines three major poets in light of the demand
that poetry aspire to scientific precision. 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.
