Thought provoking and often hilarious. I wish I read Greek or Latin (and know Mr. Pound is disgusted, or at least dismayed, that I don't), but even so, I was able to enjoy this book tremendously. My favorite sections are the Exhibits and the Treatise on Metre, which has a really interesting discussion of the relationship between music and poetry. (

Este livrinho foi minha iniciação com o grande Ezra Pound, o mais discutido poeta do século XX, que ali definiu bem a natureza e o significado da literatura, mostrando ao leitor como desenvolver uma mente crítica e sensibilidade para captar o que haja de realmente criativo na literatura. (

Neste ABC da Literatura, um dos mais importante e discutidos poetas do século XX define lapidarmente a natureza e o significado da literatura e mostra ao leitor como poderá ele desenvolver uma mente crítica e uma sensibilidade alerta para a captação do que haja de realmente criativo na grande literatura do mundo. Completa o volume uma mini antologia de "poetas essenciais", de Homero a Rimbaud, passando por Li Tai Po, os trovadores provençais, Donne, etc, brilhantemente traduzidos por Augusto e Haroldo de Campos de Décio Pignatari

The committed student needs to be wide awake, to look and listen closely, to slow down, scrutinize and reflect. The language of poetry is so dense, so multivalent, that it demands a concentrated act of attention — and offers its greatest rewards only to those who reread.

Predictably didactic and teeming with bombast, this is a sound primer to poetry and an illuminating insight into the turns and shifts Pound was making as the 1930s released a greasy slip into global catastrophe. Intriguing as Cranky Ezra proclaims Chaucer the father of European Verse and then picks examples of the subsequent tradition, many of which have since lapsed into obscurity. Prime those shovels, ye exhumers! (

This classic work of literary criticism was very amusing to me, with its draconian pronouncements and caustic contempt for the sub-literate and sloppy. Pound has very strong likes and dislikes, and while his enthusiasms are often eccentric (Walter Savage Landor? Fitzgerald's translation of Rubaiyat?), the energy and certainty with which he trumpets them are refreshing. There's a critical worldview in there somewhere, albeit one based on aphorism and epigram rather than systematic analysis. (
