"Richard Sieburth's huge edition of Pound's Poems and Translations for The Library of America devotes many pages to the young man 'out of key with his time.' ... The first edition of Pound's work with any claim to completeness.... to lovers of Pound's work, Poems and Translations could not be more welcome." -- TLS
Synopsis
Here in one volume is the biggest and best collection of Pound's poetry (excepting his long poem The Cantos ) and translations ever assembled. Ranging from the text of the handmade first collection Hilda's Book (a gift to the poet H.D.) to his late translations of Horace, and containing dozens of items previously unavailable, Poems and Translations reveals the diversity and richness of a body of work marked by daring invention and resonant music. In such early volumes as Ripostes , Cathay , Lustra , and Hugh Selwyn Mauberley --as surely as in his later magisterial versions of The Confucian Odes and the Sophoclean dramas Women of Trachis and Elektra --Pound followed his own directive to "make it new," opening fresh formal pathways while exploring the most ancient traditions. Before, during, and after the controversies and catastrophes of his public career (culminating in his long residence in a Washington mental hospital while under indictment for treason), Pound remained capable of rare technical brilliance and indelible lyricism. Here are the lush early lyrics, echoing Browning and the Troubadours; the chiseled free verse of such masterpieces as "The Return," "Near Perigord," and "Homage to Sextus Propertius"; the dazzling translations that led Eliot to call Pound "the inventor of Chinese poetry for our time." The Chinese verse translations are supplemented by Pound's versions of the Confucian prose texts-- The Analects , The Great Digest , and The Unwobbling Pivot --which he saw as crucial to his literary aims. An extensive chronology offers guidance to Pound's tumultuous life, and detailed notes clarify the many recondite allusions. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

    First, let me just say, since graduating in ‘77 I’ve owned quite a few Virginia hats, including mens’ basketball (2019 national champions), mens’ lacrosse (multiple national championships), womens’ lacrosse (3 national championships), etc. and THIS is my first Virginia football hat, so I’m hopeful. Perfect condition, as described. Packed well & shipped quickly. On the whole, a good value from a four-star — make that five-star — eBay seller.

    Pound's poems tell you what real gold rush means

    Ezra Pound's poems and translations being available at such a throwaway price is a dream come true! Pound's genius is well recognised and in fact the phenomenon of modernism in whatever form you talk about makes no sense without him. Pound's and T.S. Eliot's literary friendship as well as their abiding interest in Dante will become clear from this collection.

    Good book but Pound is seriously problem...

    Good book but Pound is seriously problematic ethically and more than a little overblown. It’s one thing to work through a difficult text and quite another to find the journey worthwhile.
