3. • The fog was published with the group
of poems known as the Chicago
poems. These poems were
published recently after a new
magazine, Poetry: a magazine of
verse, was published. This created
an influx of poets in the Chicago area
• At this time cities were rapidly
expanding, similar to the way that fog
can rapidly roll over a town.
• Additionally the factories from the
industrial revolution produced fog like
pollution.

5. • The Red Wheelbarrow is a great
example of the imagist style. The
poem describes an exact visual
image that makes a poetic
statement.
• Also, similar to many other
poems in the imagist movement,
this poem uses free verse.
• It also portrays the simplistic life
in rural areas that were slowly
disappearing as the industrial
revolution took over America.
