About the Author
New Directions has been the primary publisher of Ezra Pound in the U.S. since the founding of the press when James Laughlin published New Directions in Prose and Poetry 1936. That year Pound was fifty-one. In Laughlin’s first letter to Pound, he wrote: “Expect, please, no fireworks. I am bourgeois-born (Pittsburgh); have never missed a meal. . . . But full of ‘noble caring’ for something as inconceivable as the future of decent letters in the US.” Little did Pound know that into the twenty-first century the fireworks would keep exploding as readers continue to find his books relevant and meaningful.

Softcover. Condition: Good. For Ezra Pound, Sophokles Women of Trachis represented the highest peak of Greek sensibility registered in any of the plays that have come down to us Nothing rhetorical, nothing long-winded survives in Pounds tragedy of Herakles. His language is lit with lights long extinguished in the traditionally ornate and airless verse translations. With no mincing, poetry speeds tragedy down its course to disaster. Pounds version of Women of Trachis was first published by New Directions in 1957. Some twenty years earlier, in 1938, Pound had complained that there were no translations of these plays that an aware man can read without deadly boredom. He himself, as it turned out, supplied the remedy: his Women of Trachis brings Sophokles into the world of the living. Seller Inventory # SONG0811209482
