This author opened a critical guide to appreciating literature with the "parable of the sunfish". He reused the meter from his translation of The Seafarer to create a version of the nekuia from the Odyssey for a poem that precedes one in which the speaker tells Robert Browning to "hang it all" because "there can be but the one Sordello". This author of The ABC of Reading wrote about a man whose "true (*) Penelope was Flaubert" and who seeks to "resuscitate the dead art of poetry" in his poem "Hugh Selwyn Mauberley". Sections named for John Adams, Pisa, and a "Rock-Drill" are included in a collection by this author, whose study of Chinese characters inspired his development of Imagism. For 10 points, name this fascist American poet of The Cantos.
