Explanation

The Montreal Group was a modernist poetry collective active in Montreal in the 1920s-1930s that promoted modernist poetic techniques and themes. Poets like A.J.M. Smith, F.R. Scott, and A.M. Klein were associated with this group, which brought European modernist innovation to Canadian poetry. They moved away from traditional Victorian and Georgian forms toward experimentation, fragmentation, and urban themes characteristic of modernism. They were not primarily imagists (though influenced by Imagism), not symbolists (a different earlier movement), and not focused on nature poetry.
