About the author
Frank Stuart Flint was born in Islington, London, on December 19, 1885, and died in Berkshire on February 28, 1960. He left school at thirteen, worked a series of jobs, and later built a long career in the Civil Service while educating himself through intensive study of literature and languages.
Flint became a prominent member of the Imagist group alongside poets including Ezra Pound and T. E. Hulme. He was especially recognized as an authority on modern French poetry and worked as both a translator and poetry critic. His early collection In the Net of the Stars appeared in 1909, followed by Cadences in 1915 and Otherworld: Cadences in 1920.
His essays and translations helped introduce new approaches to rhythm, imagery, and free verse to English readers. Flint also contributed to the development of Imagist ideas and appeared in the influential anthology Some Imagist Poets.
