Answer 1

Answer: True. "In a Station of the Metro" by Ezra Pound is considered the first imagist poem.

Explanation: "In a Station of the Metro" is a poem written by Ezra Pound and published in 1913. In it, the poet describes in only two lines (or 14 words) what he sees in a metro station in Paris. This poem perfectly embodies what imagism represents: direct treatment of the object and absence of words that do not contribute to its presentation. Imagist works were mainly published from 1914 until 1917; therefore, "In a Station of the Metro" (1913) can be considered the first imagist poem. Furthermore, Ezra Pound is one of the most important representatives of this movement.
