i’ve also been reading pound’s poems & translations the library of america edition and it’s just so nice-sounding in yer head and in yer ears and in yer mouth when you read them out loud even though more times than you’d like to admit you don’t understand a thing. well that’s not true, a lot of them seems to be about ez complaining that none of his contemporaries, editors, mentors, fellow poets, big-nosed academics, understood what he was doing. which was right.
even that’s news that stays news.
