Description
Laughlin has employed his unique perspective on Pound's work to provide a delightful introduction to one of the greatest modern American poets. Combining memoir with textual scholarship and critical analysis in a lucid and refreshingly casual prose style, these essays and lectures address most of the important questions about Pound's life and work: his study and translations of the medieval troubadours; his sources and method for the Cantos and Propertius sequence; his controversial economic theories; and the poetic transformation of such things into original lyric poetry of the first order. This volumes includes a first-time published story "In the Water-butt", which Pound wrote during his college days and a bibliography of Pound's own source-books on economics. ISBN 0-55597-098-2 (pbk.): $19.95.

毛澤東的詩人情懷
By 汪建新悵秋風,連營畫角,故宮離黍。底事昆侖傾砥柱,九地黃流亂注?聚萬落千村孤兔。天意從來高難問,況人情易老悲難訴,更難浦,送君去。涼生岸柳催殘暑。耿河斜,疏星淡月,斷雲微度。萬里江山知何處?回首對床夜語。雁不到,書成誰與?目盡青天懷今古,肯兒曹恩怨相爾汝!
