W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound and the Poetry of Paradise. By Sean Pryor
This is an excellent book, for it manages to articulate Yeats’ and Pound’s compulsive urge to repeat a poetry of paradise without ever leaving the nuances of that poetry behind—without ever, that is, succumbing to the critical temptation to paraphrase the thinking done in these poems in ‘ergotistica...

| Sumario: | This is an excellent book, for it manages to articulate Yeats’ and Pound’s compulsive urge to repeat a poetry of paradise without ever leaving the nuances of that poetry behind—without ever, that is, succumbing to the critical temptation to paraphrase the thinking done in these poems in ‘ergotistical’ prose (to use a Poundian adjective). By means of this act of fidelity, Pryor captures both the complexity and the freshness of Yeats’ and Pound’s struggle to transpose paradise into verse., W.B. Yeats, Ezra Pound and the Poetry of Paradise maps the different ways in which Yeats’ and Pound’s early, middle and late poems both describe paradise and instantiate it. |
