The Cantos of Ezra Pound is the most important epic poem of the twentieth century.
Delmore Schwartz said about
The Cantos: They are one of the touchstones of modern poetry. William Carlos WIlliams said [Pound] discloses history by its odor, by the feel of itin the words; fuses it with the words, present and past, to MAKE his
Cantos.
Make them.
Since the 1969 revised edition, the Italian Cantos LXXII and LXXIII (as well as a 1966 fragment concluding the work) have been added. Now appearing for the first time is Pound's recently found Eglish translation of Italian Canto LXXII.
