Ezra Pound: the American Poet in the Vortex and His Search for "power
by Wei Lin
About This Novel
How to comprehensively evaluate the American modernist poet Ezra Pound? Is he a poet or a sinner? How to grasp his inner drive to travel between literature, art, economy, politics, East and West, history and reality? This book focuses on Pound as a "poet" and also faces Pound as a "sinner". In any case, such a contradictory turn is truly and permanently tied to his identity. His interaction with modern Western visual art in the early 20th century, especially the keyword ENERGY (force/energy) proposed when he was making theoretical contributions to British Vorticism art, provided the inspiration and starting point for this book. Therefore, starting from three topics: Pound and Western modern visual art, Pound and China, and Pound and Italian fascism, this book shows this "American poet in the vortex" his consistent and continuous pursuit of "power" throughout his life, grasps a relatively certain and stable core of thought, and extracts the internal logic from the connection between his poetry creation, poetic thoughts and practical actions, thereby trying to achieve a comprehensive and comprehensive study of it.
