The only pole is the simple one at z=1, with Res1​=e​. The point z=0 is an essential singularity, not another pole: multiplying e1/z2 by a nonvanishing analytic factor cannot remove its infinite principal part. For completeness its residue can also be read from
−(∑j≥0​zj)(∑k≥0​k!z−2k​),0<∣z∣<1.

The coefficient of z−1 is −∑k≥1​1/k!=1−e. This extra residue belongs to the essential singularity; it does not change the list of poles.
