John Gould Fletcher (January 3, 1886 – May 20, 1950) was a Pulitzer Prize winning Imagist poet and author. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas to a socially prominent family. When Fletcher's move from Arkansas to Harvard in 1903 caused him to lose faith in his Christian upbringing, he turned for solace to a study of Buddhism and Oriental art. He published Goblins and Pagodas, a book of poems, in 1916, and Japanese Prints, a critical study, in 1918.Fletcher lived in England for a large portion of his life. While in Europe he associated with Amy Lowell, Ezra Pound, and other Imagist poets.
