A concise approach for Pound's poetry.

Much have been said about the complex structure or unavailability of Pound's work. When I read this book I start to realise how much I was missing by just skipping the toughest pages of The Cantos, or by ignoring his earliest poetry. I believe this book is intended to both the scholar and the dilettanti (like me), because of it's structure clearness, and the care the author takes in giving enough examples for making clear what he is thinking. Nevertheless, due to the lenght of this book, it is imposible to attain a detailed overview of Pound's poetry (that is why I give to it only 4 stars). Despite of that, this book is a MUST read, if you wish to make a smooth approach to Pound's works (not only the so-called Pound's poetry is revised, but also his Translations).
