In a manifesto published by Nosotros magazine (Buenos Aires, 1922), [Jorge Luis] Borges summarized Ultraist goals thus:

1. Reduction of the lyric element to its primordial element, metaphor
2. Deletion of useless middle sentences, linking particles and adjectives.
3. Avoidance of ornamental artifacts, confessionalism, circumstantiation, preaching and farfetched nebulosity.
4. Synthesis of two or more images into one, thus widening its suggestiveness. (Maier 1996)

I know what school of poetry I am part of: the long forgotten ultraists.
