"Levi is too denim, Ezra is too Pound"
Can you explain what you mean by denim and pound? I've never heard of that

Denim is the fabric that blue jeans are made of. Levi jeans are a brand that became so famous that instead of saying 'jeans' one could say 'Levis', just as instead of saying 'vacuum cleaner' we say 'Hoover' even if it's a different brand.
Ezra Pound was an American poet om the first half of the 20th century, and a friend of TS Eliot. He later developed political opinions that were unpopular and was assumed to be mentally ill; perhaps he was. But his best poetry is really good.

Pound is difficult, and he wrote in ways that were very modern a century ago, so his work doesn't have the meaning or the shock value it once did. Try this:
In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.
The style is called Imagist; you can see it's like a photograph - just a single moment without any context.
