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

Just read the secondary texts that explain why he's good and then parrot those opinions.

Just to clarify, I'm interested in Pound in spite of his retarded antisemitic opinions, not because of them.

Read the pound era by Hugh Kenner and the companion to the cantos by Terrell. Also pick up the cantos, as well as the library of America pound poetry collection (which even has the Confucian translations, noh plays, and some other non fic). All you need. 4 books. Get to reading.

Pound didn't speak any of the languages he "translated" from, either, so I think you'll be fine.

I'm not looking to wallow in based and redpilled garbage; I just want to read and understand some poems. People on this board are obsessed with politics so sometimes you have to guide them away from it.

The early plant throws up quite easy to get into don't feel you need to understand all the references, neither did pound. His translations are probably his most accessible work, so maybe go there

Just ick up The Wasteland. As seen by Elliot's showing of his actual level writing poems about cats, it is all Pound, and it is short, and easy to find with adequate notations.
