Two of Ezra Pound’s early collections in one volume. Canzoni, dedicated to Olivia and Dorothy Shakespear, is full of Provençal and Italian forms, sonnets to Guido Cavalcanti and versions from Propertius, Du Bellay and Leopardi; Ripostes moves toward the new spare style, with the slim Complete Poetical Works of T. E. Hulme printed at its close.
