Summary: A very welcome volume indeed!
Review: This wonderful new book from "The Library of America" contains every poem and translation Pound wrote -- with the exception of the Cantos. For years, this stuff has been available erratically, in small volumes from New Directions, and now, suddenly, it is ALL HERE, in one handy volume.I just spent an enjoyable afternoon looking through "Lustra" (and wondering again, how Ezra Pound managed to create such marvellously musical "free verse"). But everything is here, including one of my own favorites, Pound's celebrated (and controversial) translations of Confucius, in particular "The Unwobbling Pivot." This is, basically, great stuff! Highest possible recommendation!!!
