Hulme wrote a charter document: "Rules 1908". The group comprised mainly amateurs and met once a month, excluding the summer months of July, August, and September, for dinner, the reading of poems, and the presentation of short (20 minute) papers on various topics relating to poetry. Around the end of 1908 Hulme read the Club his '' A Lecture On Modern Poetry .'' The Club produced several anthologies; the first two being — ''For Christmas MDCCCCVIII'' (January 1909) and ''The Book of the Poets' Club'' (December 1909). Two of Hulme's poems were included in the first, and another two in the second. These are regarded as the first examples of Imagism . The third anthology — ''Christmas, 1913'' — contained work by writers including: John Todhunter , E. Nesbit , Victor Plarr , Henry Simpson, Alexander Von Herder , A. St. John Adcock , Selwyn Image , and Margaret Scott Thomson . SOURCES
