Abstract
My presentation will be focused on Ezra Pound's two line poem "In a Station of the Metro." I will explore the form of his short poem in addition to the connections readers can make to their own modern lives through this modern poem. "In a Station of the Metro" addresses the experience of being one face amongst a sea of faces in the increasingly modern world. In my presentation, I will explore the symbolism of Pound's poem and the aspects that connect to daily life in 2013, one hundred years after the poem was written.
