SUMMARY:Remembering Ezra Pound - Sunday November 2nd - 2pm - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Pound was an American poet and critic\, a major figure in the early modernist poetry movement\, and a collaborator in Fascist Italy during World War II. His works include Ripostes (1912)\, Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920)\, and his 800-page epic poem The Cantos (c. 1917–1962). \nPound’s contribution to poetry began in the early 20th century with developing Imagism\, a movement stressing precision and economy of language. Working in London as a foreign editor of several American literary magazines\, he helped discover and shape the work of contemporaries such as H. D.\, Robert Frost\, T. S. Eliot\, Ernest Hemingway\, and James Joyce. Hemingway wrote in 1932 that\, for poets born in the late 19th or early 20th century\, not to be influenced by Pound would be “like passing through a great blizzard and not feeling its cold”. \nPound blamed the war on finance capitalism\, he moved to Italy in 1924\, embraced Mussolini’s fascism\, and expressed support for Hitler. Ruled mentally unfit to stand trial\, Pound was incarcerated for over 12 years at St. Elizabeths psychiatric hospital in Washington\, D.C.\, whose doctors viewed Pound as a narcissist and a psychopath\, but otherwise completely sane.\nWhile in custody in Italy\, Pound began work on sections of The Cantos\, which were published as The Pisan Cantos (1948)\, for which he was awarded the Bollingen Prize for Poetry in 1949 by the Library of Congress\, causing enormous controversy. Reflections on Ezra Pound.
