As a poet, he founded the Imagist movement (c. 1909-17), which advocated the use of precise, concrete images in a free-verse setting. As an editor, he fostered the careers of William Butler Yeats, T. S. Eliot, and Robert Frost. As a force in the literary world, he championed James Joyce and Wyndham Lewis. Pound also helped to create a modern movement in poetry in which, in T. S. Eliot's words, English and American poets collaborated, knew each other's works, and influenced each other.<br>Long an expatriate, Pound's questionable political activities during World War II distracted many from the value of his literary work. Nevertheless, his status as a major American poet has never been in doubt, as this choice collection of fifty-seven early poems amply proves. Here are poems -- including a number not found in other anthologies -- from <i>Personae</i> (1909), <i>Exultations</i> (1909), <i>Ripostes</i> (1912), and <i>Cathay</i> (1915) as well as selections from his major sequence Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920).<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A mentor to T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway and other prominent writers of the 1920s and '30s, Ezra Pound (1885-1972) was one of America's most influential and controversial poets and critics. A major figure of the early modernist movement, the expatriate author began his contributions to poetry with his development of Imagism, a movement derived from classical Chinese and Japanese poetry that stressed clarity, precision, and economy of language.
