Ezra Pound's Selected Poems 1908-1969 is an indispensable introduction to the iconoclastic work of the modernist poet, including important early poems such as Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, Cathay and Homage to Sextus Propertius, as well as a selection from his Cantos.

This selection provides an excellent introduction to Ezra Pound's poetry for the general reader, and for the student of contemporary literature. It takes the place of the pioneer edition edited by T. S. Eliot which was published in 1928. A representative group of early poems is included; Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, Cathay and Homage to Sextus Propertius are printed complete; and there is a selection from the Cantos up to and including Drafts & Fragments (1969).
