    Comments

    The sixth work from the collection "Cahiers du Regard". The American poet Ezra Pound began his "Cantos" back in 1915, a series of poems that he worked on for the rest of his life and which was to become his magnum opus. By the early 1970s, the collection had grown to over 100 works. These "Canto Pisan" were written in captivity in 1948 and won the "Bollingen Prize" in 1949.
