Ezra Pound's poem 'In a Station of the Metro' exemplifies Imagism, a movement that focused on conveying direct feelings through sensory experiences. Pound's poem captures a moment from his encounter in Paris's Metro, where he saw faces that inspired him to distill his emotions into a concise two-line poem.

Imagism emphasized treating things directly, eliminating unnecessary words, and using rhythm effectively, all of which Pound achieved in his condensed verse.

This poem reflects Pound's adherence to the Modernist ideals of 'make it new,' challenging traditional poetic forms and advocating for innovation in literature.
