Ezra Pound: It is highly admirable that he claimed such a high name for himself. It makes it very recognizable that he took time to help other poets in effort to boost their success. I truly enjoy his approach to writing because he does not leave anything abstract and he intentionally is specific. I also thought it was interesting that he includes french and Latin in his poems because it makes it very dynamic.
HD put a twist upon the poets that she had been reading from. She adds an air of feminism as well as deep words that resonate with a country who is on a search for new mentality after the war. She stands out because she wrote more than just poetry. She wrote very philosophically about human kind’s most existential questions.
It is especially interesting that Lowell put an even fresher spin on work from HD. She sounds as though she was a woman who knew exactly who she was, what she stood for and was not afraid to tell the world. It speaks volumes about her that she started her poetry career at age thirty.
