Early Writings (Pound, Ezra) Reviews

3.0
“I neither like nor hate Pound. I appreciate his prose far more than I do his poetry, but I adore listening to him read his own work out loud. If you haven't done this, please make your own day. Seriously, you're welcome. As an English major, I somehow find ways to appreciate great works without actually enjoying them. I think it's just been pounded into my brain after one too many lit classes. Pound is just not for me. I find him to be arrogant and I always feel it showing through in his works. He has a beautiful way with words, but it never clicks for me. Personally, I would prefer Baudelaire over Pound any day, but hey, to each it's own.”
