<span>In Claude McKay's poem Tropics of New York, the first thing used to provide the poem's initial imagery is d. fruit. Imagery is visually descriptive language that you can observe in literature. In order to recognize it in this poem, it is just enough to read the first stanza:

As you can see, there is a vivid imagery that is employed by describing fruits.<span>
