- Summary
- T. S. Eliot called Ezra Pound il miglior fabbro, "the better craftsman." James Joyce declared he was "a miracle of ebulliency, gusto and help." W.B. Yeats recalled that to "talk over a poem with him" was "like getting you to put a sentence into dialect. All becomes clear and natural." The supercharged Ezra Pound seemed to be everywhere at once in the literary world of the early twentieth century, cajoling, hectoring, provoking, and refashioning literature whether in London, Paris, New. York, or Rapallo. This unique selection of his early poems and prose includes such poetic masterpieces as "The Seafarer," "Homage to Sextus Propertius," and the first eight of Pound's incomparable cantos, as well as seventeen essays, articles, and critical pieces, including "The Chinese Written Character as a Medium for Poetry."--Book jacket.
