Ezra Pound
I’ve poked at the Cantos for years.
finally, made up my mind.
Ezra Pound:
anti-semite, lunatic;
remarkable literary technician - lousy poet;
a great work by formula.
the result?
the Michelin guide to literature.
perhaps useful to the touring poet.
There’s damnation by faint praise!
The young composer must come to grips
with Pierrot Lunaire and the Rite of Spring.
