I like Peter Makin's book on The Cantos as a general introduction/commentary on that poem, & Michael Alexander's The Poetic Achievement of EP on EP in general. Christine Brooke-Rose's ZBC of Ezra Pound is a great but challenging read.Mark Scrogginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431113440875342809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-30822375339763243402009-05-03T20:11:00.000-04:002009-05-03T20:11:00.000-04:00Now I understand what Prufrock meant when he asked...Now I understand what Prufrock meant when he asked "Do I dare to eat a peach?"Norman Finkelsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673105579717018812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-39417451226053944592009-05-03T13:37:00.000-04:002009-05-03T13:37:00.000-04:00Thanks for that advice, Mark.

Humphrey Carpenter is the biography ...Hey Walrus--<br /><br />Humphrey Carpenter is the biography of record (ie the longest & most complete), but marred by the fact that HC hates Pound & doesn't really understand the poetry; Noel Stock is a bit of a slog, but (barely) okay; John Tytell is derivative, as are all the shorter bios. The one to read is A. David Moody's (blogged somewhere earlier); unfortunately only his 1st volume, thru 1920 or so, is available as yet. Stay tuned.<br /><br />I'm gonna resist captioning, E, on the basis that sometimes a giant sea serpent is just a giant sea serpent.
