The Cantos of Ezra Pound is one of the great landmarks in twentieth-century poetry. This Fourth Collected edition of 1987 includes two previously uncollected cantos, and some passages from other cantos, omitted from earlier printings, restored to the text. The additional cantos, numbered LXXII and LXXIII, were written by Ezra Pound in Italian, during the collapse of Italy at the end of the war.. They belong in the sequence between the John Adams and the Pisan cantos.
Opposing the Money Lenders - The Struggle to Abolish
Interest Slavery is a collection of writings from some of
the most determined fighters against usury and the Central Banking
system during the 20th Century. Those included are Arthur Nelson
Field, John A. Lee, John Hargrave, Ezra Pound, Father Charles
Coughlin, and Gottfried Feder, who fought and inspired mass
movements that struggled to liberate their nations from the forces
of what one - Gottfried Feder - aptly called "Mammonism."
You Know How a Cat will bring a mouse it has caught and lay it at your feet so each morning I bring you a poem that I've written when I woke up in the night as my tribute to your beauty & a promise of my love. -James Laughlin Across the ages, cats have provided their adopted humans with companionship, affection, mystery, and innumerable metaphors. Cats raise a mirror up to their beholders; cats endlessly captivate and hypnotise, frustrate and delight. To poets, in particular, these enigmatic creatures are the most delightful and beguiling of muses, as they purr, prowl, hunt, play, meow, and nap, often oblivious to their so-called masters. Cat Poems offers a litter of odes to our beloved felines by some of the greatest poets of all time.
Collecting in full for the first time the correspondence between Ezra Pound and members of Leo Frobenius' Forschungsinstitut für Kulturmorphologie in Frankfurt across a 30 year period, this book sheds new light on an important but previously unexplored influence on Pound's controversial intellectual development in the Fascist era. Ezra Pound's long-term interest in anthropology and ethnography exerted a profound influence on early 20th century literary Modernism. These letters reveal the extent of the influence of Frobenius' concept of 'Paideuma' on Pound's poetic and political writings during this period and his growing engagement with the culture of Nazi Germany. Annotated throughout, the letters are supported by contextualising essays by leading Modernist scholars as well as relevant contemporary published articles by Pound himself and his leading correspondent at the Institute, the American Douglas C. Fox.
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.
This book has a brief biography of the author Ezra Pound and 27 selected poems as Exultations.
Delmore Schwartz said about The Cantos: "They are one of the touchstones of modern poetry." William Carlos WIlliams said "[Pound] discloses history by its odor, by the feel of it-in the words; fuses it with the words, present and past, to MAKE his Cantos. Make them." Since the 1969 revised edition, the Italian Cantos LXXII and LXXIII (as well as a 1966 fragment concluding the work) have been added. Now appearing for the first time is Pound's recently found Eglish translation of Italian Canto LXXII. |
