【Content Introduction】
Ezra Pound is recognized as one of the most influential poets of the 20th century. He initiated the Imagist poetry movement and led the innovation of modernist English poetry. He sought new directions in art with the belief of "innovation", capturing life in experience and presenting the truth in images. Pound also discovered and helped important figures in the modern literary landscape such as Eliot, Joyce, and Hemingway, and his influence on later European and American poets continues to this day.
This book collects 117 representative poems from various stages of Pound's nearly 60-year creative career, including his early poetry collection "Reply", the important transitional work "Hugh Selwyn Moberly", selections from the iconic modernist epic "Cantos", etc., and is accompanied by Eliot's introduction to Pound's poetry collection and the translator's introduction, striving to fully present the poet's unremitting pursuit of modernity and worldliness in the practice of integrating poetic styles of various languages and regions.
