Eliot, and James Joyce: he was singularly responsible for the publication in 1918 of Joyce's Ulysses, and in 1915 of Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe verse and critical essays he produced during these years largely determined the directions of creative writing in our time; virtually every major poet in England and America today has acknowledged his influence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHemingway wrote: \"The best of Pound's writing – and it is in the Cantos – will last as long as there is any literature.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cantos have been called the single most important epic poem of the twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEZRA POUND (1885–1972) has been called a poetic visionary, and \"the inventor of modern English poetry.\"","brand":"The St. George Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173168595184,"sku":"2940148801047","price":3.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148801047_p0.jpg?v=1763708266","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148801047","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
