Ezra Pound. First edition, first printing (stated). New York: A New Directions Book, 1956. Both unclipped dust jacket, in a mylar protective wrapper, and hardcover are in Near Fine condition. There is some minor chipping at the top/bottom of jacket, otherwise a really solid edition!
Pound's The Cantos is a modernist epic poem that explores various themes such as the search for an idealized world, the role of the artist, and the relationship between politics, economics, and war.
The first 95 cantos collected here in one place. This was originally published in six separate books. It spans from 1915 to 1962, and reflects on historical events like World Wars and the rise of Fascism.
