Amazon.com description: Product Description: This book focuses on two twentieth-century American epic poets - Ezra Pound (1885-1972) and Charles Olson (1910-1970) - in the context of multiculturalism. Pound deployed the cultural resources of the Other to deflect Western imperialismâs absolutizing of the self and opened new poetic and cultural spaces beyond T. S. Eliotâs closed Anglo-American tradition. However, he fell short of discarding modernist Enlightenment epistemology reifying the Other. Olson followed in the tradition of Poundâs open poetics but rejected his Eurocentrism. By deconstructing Poundâs epistemology, Olson forged a postmodernist and postimperial multicultural perspective that reconfigured Otherness through an unmediated, self-decentered discourse.
