The Collected Early Poems of Ezra Pound contains the complete text,
the poet's first six books, their title pages in facsimile (A Lume
Spento, 1908; A Quinzaine for This Yule, 1908; Personae, 1909;
Exultations, 1909; Canzoni, 1911; Ripostes, 1912), and the long
poem Redondillas (1911), for many years available only in a rare
limited edition. There are, in addition, twenty-five poems
originally published in periodicals but not previously collected,
as well as thirty-eight others drawn from miscellaneous
manuscripts. Ezra Pound's 1926 collection, entitled Personae after
his earlier volume of that name, was his personal choice of all the
poems he wished to keep in print other than some translations and
his Cantos. It was intended to be the definitive collection of his
shorter poems, and so it should remain. Yet even the discarded
works of a great poet are of value and interest to students and
devotees. Originally, brought out clothbound by New Directions in
1976, the texts were established at the Center for the Study of
Ezra Pound and His Contemporaries of The Beinecke Rare Book and
Manuscript Library at Yale University. They were edited by Michael
King under the direction of Louis L. Martz, who wrote the
introduction, and Donald Gallup, formerly Curator of American
Literature. Included are textual and bibliographic notes as well as
indexes of titles and first lines.
