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.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLong 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 Personae (1909), Exultations (1909), Ripostes (1912), and Cathay (1915) as well as selections from his major sequence \"Hugh Selwyn Mauberley\" (1920).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0421BU\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reach Literacy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930608435424,"sku":"Classics","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0431\/0794\/2562\/files\/OIP_6_09b85df0-eda2-4a86-be93-a1b11976a6b6.webp?v=1776790439","url":"https:\/\/reachareader.com\/products\/early-poems-used-paperback-ezra-pound","provider":"Reach Literacy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
