Where do I start with this guy?
Is there a flowchart?
What am I in for as I read his stuff?

How do I read his Cantos? I've read a bit already but I don't get it. What is some essential literature that one should read before diving in?

>/pol/tards claim to like him
>not a single one actually understands him
why do rightoids do this

Where do I start with his poetry? Is there any way to "get" it if you don't speak eight languages?

What's the deal with this guy? When I mention him to my literature prof, she just goes on about his radio broadcasts. I thought his jokes were pretty funny myself.

What does /lit/ think of modernist poets like Frost, Yeats, T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound?

Go on, do it. You cant anons, he's one of the elite few writers who are "endgame" in their field. He wont be surpassed in our lifetime.

Anyone have some essays, diaries, just general nonfiction written by Poets? Not about poetry though.

What would be the "must read" with Pound? Additionaly if you know some nice editions it would help a lot.

poetry? I want to learn more about writing it. any help would be great. I loved Ezra's works and Edger Allen Poe. Anything about structure and types of poems. I one day want to write my own. Thank you in advance.

Alright anons, thought’s on Pound? I just don’t get the guy, but I’ll read his poetry anyways.

What the fuck is a vorticism?

How do I read this guy?
I was watching a lecture on his work by Langdon Hammer and apparently Pound didn't really write notes because he wanted us to experience the poem for itself or something along those lines.
How true is that in your experience?
My problem with the lack of notes is that Pound seems to love including non-English verses in his poems, greek and italian but maybe more
Do any editions bother to translate this in footnotes?

Why was he so obsessed with the concept of usury?

Can someone explain Ezra Pound to me please? He seems to be mentioned in the foreward of every book I read.

he ruined poetry forever bros...

Pound, Yeats, and Eliot are all 20th century guys that are appealing to English-speaking /lit/izens. Good place to start with poetry.

Sorry /pol/tards, Pound disinherited you long ago... :/

His Chinese translations are beautiful; apparently he didn't really know much Chinese. How did he do it, /lit/? Why are these so good?
