I've never read any Pound but I know he was locked in a cage by fascists so he must be interesting. How would you characterize him?

I like his early stuff. He had a sense of humor and a good ear for rhythm.
Very erudite but still capable of engaging crudity.
I also like his Chinese translations though I have heard criticisms that he sacrificed accuracy for sound.
