[OPINION] Ezra Pound, I just don't get it

As the title suggests, I just don't get Ezra Pound. I've read poetry for years it's one of my favorite things to do and though all the poets I've always found something I love but honestly Ezra Pound bores me to tears. I find his poetry lacks any feeling or heart. It reads like AI wrote it. So if someone can please explain to me what I'm missing here cause honestly I just don't get it.

Ezra Pound and Nietzsche

Hi. I've been making my way through everything currently in print by Ezra Pound. I've noticed he repeatedly dismisses Nietzsche, yet more or less parrots him in places, either in style or in ideas. I'm wondering if Pound actually gave much attention to Nietzsche, or picked things up from Wyndham Lewis. I've not found any information about this yet. If anyone has any ideas, prithee into the porches of mine ears etc.

Who is Ezra Pound Talking About?

I'm reading ABC of Reading by Ezra Pound. Who is he talking about in this quote:

I have taken to using the term phanopoeia to get away from irrelevant particular connotations tangled with a particular group of young people who were writing in 1912.

For context, earlier he was talking about earlier Imagism and how they got it wrong at first. Is he including Amy Lowell?

Ezra Pound quotation

I'm reading Pound's pamphlet Intro to the Economic Nature of the USA - he says: "The Bank of England was based on the discovery that instead of loaning money, the Bank's money could be put out on loan."

This doesn't mean anything to me, I am totally ignorant of economics - they sound like the same thing. Can someone break down exactly what is meant here (regardless of whether or not it is truth - I am reading for other reasons and just need to know what he himself meant)

Thanks a lot
