Poetic visionary Ezra Pound catalyzed American literature's
modernist revolution. From the swirling center of poetic change he
excited the powerful energies of Eliot, Joyce, and William Carlos
Williams and championed the Imagism and Vorticism movements. This
volume, the most comprehensive collection of his poetry and
translations ever assembled, gathers all his verse except "The
Cantos." In addition to the famous poems that transformed modern
literature, it features dozens of rare and out-of-print pieces,
such as the handmade first collection "Hilda's Book" (1905-1907),
late translations of Horace, rare sheet music translations, and
works from a 1917 "lost" manuscript.
Pound's influential "Cathay" (1915), "Lustra" (1917), and "Hugh
Selwyn Mauberley" (1920)-as surely as his later masterly Confucian
odes and Sophoclean dramas-followed the poet's own directive to
"make it new," opening fresh formal pathways into ancient
traditions. Through these works and others representing more than
30 different volumes and dozens of pieces that Pound never
collected, "Poems and Translations" reveals the breadth of his
daring invention and resonant music: lyrics echoing the Troubadors
and Browning, chiseled 1920s free verse, and dazzling translations
that led Eliot to call Pound "the inventor of Chinese poetry for
our time."
An extensive chronology offers guidance to Pound's tumultuous
life. Detailed endnotes of unprecedented range and depth clarify
Pound's fascinatingly recondite allusions.
