This post is a revised version of an essay I wrote a few years ago; I’m posting it here in honour of Pound’s upcoming birthday. Please forgive its length - I’ll go back to my normal style shortly after this. For now, think of it as a preview of the literature-focused website I mentioned working on in last week’s post. -———- Though many poets write about social, political, and economic issues, few have made such matters as integral to their work as Ezra Pound.
