Ezra Pound

30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972



an American expatriate poet and critic, and a major figure in the early modernist movement in poetry. He became known for his role in developing Imagism, which, in reaction to the Victorian and Georgian poets, favored tight language, unadorned imagery, and a strong correspondence between the verbal and musical qualities of the verse and the mood it expressed. His best-known works include Ripostes (1912), Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920), and his unfinished 120-section epic, The Cantos, which consumed his middle and late career, and was published between 1917 and 1969.

IN A STATION OF THE METRO
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

Reading the Book of Changes . . .
Ezra Pound's Make It New
lingers in my mind

Chen-ou Liu, Canada

Ezra Pound (1885-1972), the originator of the slogan
"Make It New,"
who lived in Europe, greatly influenced the development of modern literature.

His In a Station of the Metro has been endlessly researched by scholars, literary critics, and poets alike…
In his most widely-read book, The Haiku Handbook: How to Write, Share, and Teach Haiku, William Higginson rightly emphasizes that Ezra Pound's metro poem is the "first published hokku in English" and "very important to its author`s development" – an excerpt from my essay entitled
Three Readings of Ezra Pound's "Metro Haiku"


The Yijing, also known as the Book of Changes, is one of the oldest of the Chinese classic texts.
