I wanna get into Pound, but how? What books must I have and in

Don't read that anti-semitic trash

>>7403489
He's antisemitic?

>>7403490
no but you still shouldn't read anti-semitic trash

>>7403497
What do you mean 'no'? Yes he is

>“You let in the Jew and the Jew rotted your empire, and you yourselves out-jewed the Jew”

>“And the big Jew has rotted every nation he has wormed into.”

>“Your infamy is bound up with Judaea. You can not touch a sore or a shame in your empire but you find a Mond, a Sassoon, or a Goldsmid.”

Personae or Selected Poems

If you want to get more into his "mind" The ABC or Reading and his anthology Confucius to Cumming each will give you an insight into his ideas and tastes

so, his cantos would be a bad place to start?

jfc how did the modernists have enough time for anything?

>>7403534

he only advocates knowing like 4 languages other than your own you dolt. Assuming you know English, he asks you to learn French, Latin, Greek, Classical Chinese, and I think the other "optional" ones are Provencal and German.

That's not too much to ask.

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

That's his best poem. You're done.
