Is Ezra Pound worth reading?

>>7508824
Another question would be: "How is he not worth reading?".

>>7508869
A proposition might be: "Ezra Pound may or may not be worth reading."

if you want to only invest in art that is universally approved by a community, so you don't have to form your own thoughts, you should try /mu/.

Is Ezra Pound really been read even as decided to use even go want to do worth more like?

>>7508824
His early poems are, but I wouldn't read anything else by him. I especially wouldn't touch The Cantos.

New Directions

source: i have the new directions hardcover. the typeface is clean and legible, the formatting is proper, the book's not too little and not too big, and it's one of the only editions under $100 that includes all of his Cantos and not just a selection. It also excludes footnotes and etc, as Pound meant it to be read that way. Oh and it's pretty.

awesome, thank you friend, however is it a good idea to read it without footnotes, even if he intended it that way? or should i just get it and then google everything i don't know
