'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' is Published in Poetry Magazine

Together, Pound and Monroe were largely responsible for introducing Modernist poetry to American readers. The revolution was rapid and complete. By 1915, when Pound forwarded "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," by a twenty-six-year-old unpublished poet named T.S. Eliot, night was no longer (and could probably never be again) Wilcox's brunette Mother sheltering her children; instead it "spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table." And in 1918 Alice Corbin Henderson, Monroe's astute assistant editor, wrote, "Nowadays everyone is writing imagist vers libre, or what the writers conceive as such.... Free verse is now accepted in good society, where rhymed verse is considered a little shabby and old-fashioned."
