Summary: interesting perspectives
Comment: Ezra Pound was one of the most influential figures in the history of literature. Not necessarily for what he wrote, but what he did; he helped people like T.S. Eliot and James Joyce get published (you can see this as good or bad). These essays can be a little uneven at times, but the essay "How to Read" is incredibly informative. "The Serious Artist" and his take on Ulysses are also interesting pieces of writing. This collection is certainly not for everybody, but there is some good stuff here and I would recommend this book to someone who wants a greater knowledge of how the mind of a poet functions. Also recommended: Pound's Cantos and Eliot's The Four Quartets
Rating: 5
Summary: Great essays from the modernist era
Comment: I find that reading just the first two essay was worth the money I spent on this book. Pound writes his literary essay with creativity, intelligence, and humor that are rare even among the best essayists. "A retrospect" is a great guide to use for those who takes interest in writing poetry. Likewise "How to Read" will serve as a great crash course for the history of poetry, and provides us with an instruction on how to approach poetry. His personal critique of other writers are also worth reading.
