Brooks Haxton: Image and the Levels of Meaning (July 2012)

Brooks Haxton considers the image as a vehicle of meaning as he traces the influence of early 20^thcentury translations of Chinese and Japanese work on Western writers and readers. Haxton also draws upon the King James Bible and Imagist poets, including Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams and D.H. Lawrence, to explore potential allegorical, moral, and mystical aspects of an image’s meaning.
