First edition of what was the definitive collection of Pound's early poems when published in 1926. Ezra Pound was tremendously influential to such rising literary stars as Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and T. S. Eliot. His political and economic views in support of dictators such as Mussolini and Hitler have ensured he remains a controversial figure.
