“Haoming Liu’s ambitious, demanding, and intensely interesting ‘Pharmaka and Volgar’ Eloquio: Speech and Ideogrammic Writing in Ezra Pound’s Canto XCVIII’ (Asia Major 22: 179-214) shows that this late poem ‘actually focuses on the issue of writing and its relation to speech’ rather than the dualistic morality and Confucianism most apparent at first reading.” —Alec Marsh and Matthew Hofer. “Pound and Eliot.” American Literary Scholarship 2009, no. 1 (2009): 153-176.
