Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (1885–1972) was one of the most daring, innovative, and influential poets of the 20th century. A master of rhythm and language, Pound has been compared to T.S. Eliot as one of the great modernists. Like Eliot, Pound was an expatriate who spent most of his life in Europe. He was also a controversial figure, both for his politics and his personal life.

Pound's poetry is characterized by its experimental form and use of language. He was a master of rhythm and cadence, and his poems are often full of obscure references and allusions. Pound was also a voracious reader, and his work is full of influences from a wide range of sources, including Chinese poetry, Provençal literature, and the works of Dante.

Pound's most famous work is probably The Cantos, a long, unfinished poem that he worked on for most of his life. The Cantos is a complex and allusive work that draws on a wide range of sources and cultures. It is a challenging poem to read, but it is also a rewarding one, and it is considered one of the masterpieces of 20th-century poetry.

Pound's other works include Cathay, a collection of translations from Chinese poetry; Homage to Sextus Propertius, a series of poems based on the work of the Roman poet Sextus Propertius; and Personae, a collection of early poems.

Pound was a major influence on a number of other poets, including T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, and H.D. He is considered one of the most important figures in 20th-century poetry, and his work continues to be read and studied by poets and scholars today.
