What changes have taken place in English poetry in Canada before World War II?

Before World War II, some English poets in Canada, deeply influenced by Pound and Eliot, abandoned the traditional poetic meter and vocabulary and replaced them with simple words and free forms, such as Ross (1894- 1966) and Raymond Nestor (1899-/kloc-). Later, teachers and students of McGill University, such as Arthur James Marshall Smith, Francis Scott, Leo Kennedy and Abraham Klein, founded McGill Biweekly to introduce and write modernist poems. They advocate that poetry should have a modern sense, expand the theme, not be limited to ethnic groups and regions, but have world content; Technically, express your thoughts with concise language and images, or express your inner world with symbolic means. Their creation and activities promoted the popularity of modernist poetry in Canada.
