Parables

By John Gould Fletcher

"Parables" is a compelling collection of lyrical prose and spiritual meditations by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet John Gould Fletcher. Known for his foundational role in the Imagist movement, Fletcher brings his characteristic precision and evocative imagery to this series of moral and philosophical narratives. The work explores the complexities of the human spirit, the nature of faith, and the search for meaning in a modern world.

The stories within "Parables" serve as allegorical reflections, blending modernist literary techniques with timeless wisdom. Fletcher moves beyond traditional verse to craft rhythmic, thought-provoking sketches that challenge the reader to look beneath the surface of everyday existence. Through rich metaphors and powerful language, the author examines the intersection of the divine and the mundane. This collection stands as a testament to Fletcher's evolving artistic vision, marking a shift toward deeper metaphysical inquiry. It remains an essential work for readers interested in early 20th-century modernist literature and the development of the modernist prose poem.
