Humberston Skipwith Cannell established himself as one of the more promising of the early imagists sponsored by Ezra Pound before World War I. But Cannell's life as a poet was one of great promise followed by many disappointments. Although he lived sixty-nine years and his poems began to appear in print when he was twenty-four, his career as a publishing poet lasted only three years. Cannell's last published poem appeared in 1917.
