About this product

Product Information

The verse and criticism which he produced during the early years of the twentieth century very largely determined the directions of creative writing in our time; virtually every major poet in England and America today has ackwledged his help or influence. Pound's lyric genius, his superb technique, and his fresh insight into literary problems make him one of the small company of men who through the centuries have kept poetry alive-one of the great invators. This book offers a compact yet representative selection of Ezra Pound's poems and translations. The span covered is Pound's entire writing career, from his early lyrics and the translations of Provencal songs to his English version of Sophocles' Trachiniae. Included are parts of his best kwn works-the Chinese translations, the sequence called Hugh Selwyn Mauberly, the Homage to Sextus Propertius. The Cantos, Pound's major epic, are presented in generous selections, chosen to emphasize the main themes of the whole poem.

Author Biography
New Directions has been the primary publisher of Ezra Pound in the U.S. since the founding of the press when James Laughlin published New Directions in Prose and Poetry 1936. That year Pound was fifty-one. In Laughlin's first letter to Pound, he wrote: Expect, please, no fireworks. I am bourgeois-born (Pittsburgh); have never missed a meal... But full of 'noble caring' for something as inconceivable as the future of decent letters in the US. Little did Pound know that into the twenty-first century the fireworks would keep exploding as readers continue to find his books relevant and meaningful.

  • Selected Poems by Ezra Pound

    Like all poets his work contains good and marginal passages, remarkable is the shear volume of currently relevant thought he presents. As an American if you read without pre-conceived notions of his British superiority complex, ignoring his Whitman and Fitzgerald nonsense and instead focus on the actual work, you will discover gems like: .."That your relationship is wholly parasitic; ..to our feast you bring neither Wit, nor good spirits"... or "When I carefully consider the curious habits of dogs I am compelled to conclude That man is the superior animal. When I consider the curious habits of man I confess, my friend, I am puzzled" or "Come, let us pity those who are better off than we are. come, my friend, and remember that the rich have butlers and no friends, And we have friends ...

    Not very exciting, heavily philosophical. Grimy comes to mind. Probably a good selection but I’m not a fan.
