The Poetry of Ezra Pound cover

This pioneering study did much to rehabilitate Ezra Pound's reputation after a long period of critical hostility and neglect. Published in 1951, it was the first comprehensive examination of the Cantos and other major works that would strongly influence the course of contemporary poetry.

"An indispensable text for the student of modern literature in any of its manifestations."—New Yorker
"Mr. Kenner has gone far to achieve what he set out to do, make the reader see Mr. Pound as a poet possibly great and certainly important to our time."—Bonamy Dobrée, Spectator
"The book contains numerous quotations from Ezra Pound's works and gives some excellent examples of the gusto and vitality of Pound's dealing with ideas."—Serge Hughes, Commonweal
"Kenner's work of gathering the essential statement of [Pound's] intelligences merits the serious attention of those still supple enough to accept the demands of a difficult beauty."—J. H. Edwards, San Francisco Chronicle
