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 acknowledged 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
innovators. 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 known 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."
