Poundian

Poundian describes poetry influenced by Ezra Pound's work or methods, especially its lean phrasing, sharp imagery, wide-ranging allusion, and willingness to mix voices, languages, and cultural references. A Poundian poem may also feel fragmented or collage-like, with shifting tones and scenes rather than a single smooth lyric flow.

Example

The riverbank, the tram bell, a line of Greek
cut against the sky-
old coins in a modern hand,
city light flashing like broken gold.
