Extractions: Ezra Pound (1885-1972) was born in the frontier town of Hailey, Idaho, and reared in Philadelphia. He attended Hamilton College and the University of Pennsylvania, where he did graduate work in Romance languages. In 1908 he traveled to Europe and settled in London, which was to be his home until 1920, when he moved to Paris and later (1924) to Italy. During the 1930s his economic and political obsessions caused him to support the fascist regime of Mussolini, and in 1941-43 he gave a number of talks on Radio Rome criticizing the U.S. role in World War II. In 1945 he was arrested for treason and jailed for several months at Pisa before being flown to the United States, where he was declared "mentally unfit for trial" and remanded to St. Elizabeths Hospital for 12 years. In 1958 he was released from St. Elizabeths, after a number of prominent writers had intervened on his behalf; he returned to Italy, where he spent most of his last years in penitential silence.

Extractions: The strange and inscrutable case of Ezra Pound The expatriate American poet returned home in ignominy, and the postwar world watched as a literary giant was charged with treason Fifty years ago, the Department of Justice in Washington prepared to open what was expected to be one of the most sensational trials in American history. The expatriate American poet, considered by many to be the most influential bard of the 20th century, was brought home in ignominy in the autumn of 1945. Pound had made radio broadcasts on behalf of Italy's Fascist regime throughout the war. In the end, Pound ended up being declared insane and committed to St. Elizabeths asylum for almost 13 years. Author Robert Wernick chronicles this strange and inscrutable interlude, and takes us on a compelling journey into the world of 20th-century letters.

Ezra Pound And The Occult
A project at Case Western Reserve U.
http://www.cwru.edu/artsci/engl/VSALM/mod/ballentine/index.html

Extractions: "Omniformis Omnis intellectus est" There is remarkably little scholarship available analyzing the occult influence on Ezra Pound. In many books and essays the occult is marginalized or avoided altogether. This project is attempting to bring to light the elements of the occult which affected Pound's writing. This site will also discuss the facets of the occult to which he did not subscribe. Utilizing the resources of the Internet, this project will attempt to make as much information available as possible in a user-friendly format. Throughout the paper the reader will have the option of linking to more extensive biographies on people who were in contact with and did influence Pound. Parenthetical notations will also be "anchored" to the appropriate resource on the bibliography page. In addition there is a "links" page available that offers direct access to other sites on Pound as well as the occult. Pound begins Canto 1 with an Odyssean character embarking on his journey. This begins the katabasis or the ritualistic descent that is an initiation into Pound's Cantos . Please click here to listen to Pound read the introduction to Canto 1 . Enjoy and welcome to the site.

Extractions: The Jargon Society The Jargon Society? Musings for the season! What's new? What's in the works? ... EZRA POUND I encountered Brer Rabbit (as Eliot called him) only twice. The first time (1956) was at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, over the Potomac from Washington in Anacostia, Maryland. Robert Creeley and I were driving from New York to Black Mountain College. We had visited Louis Zukofsky in Brooklyn Heights and LZ had inscribed a copy of Jargon's edition of Some Time for Pound. We would deliver it in person en route. Pound was sitting out on the lawn, surrounded by the likes of Eustace Mullins, John Kasper, and the retinue from Catholic University. Dorothy Pound came over and asked us who we were. We explained. Pound told her he didn't want to see people who were friends of Charles Olson. Off we slunk. The photograph is the second occasion, in Venice, 1966. He is standing near the rooms where he wrote A Lume Spento 60 years before&emdash; "my window/ looked out on the Squero where Ogni Santi/ meets San Trovaso..." These were the days of his great silence. (Guy Davenport reports dining with him one evening and all Ez said was "gnocchi".) Nothing was said of great moment that afternoon, except his parting aside: "All I did was make a little noise for some guys that nobody was listening to." Bill Williams said a good thing: "It's easy to forget, in our dislike for some of the parts Ezra plays, and for which there is no excuse, that virtue can still be a mark of greatness."

Charles Olson On Seeing Ezra Pound, After 20 Years
Olson recounts talking to pound twenty years after their relationship in St Elizabeth's, where pound was interned.
http://info.chymes.org/olson/on_pound_1965.html

Extractions: pg 64. Charles Olson. It's very strange because I suddenly was presented to Ezra Pound two weeks ago, after twenty years. And that was likeI don't knowit was not like your father or somethingit was like having an Umbrian angel suddenly descend upon you and ask you to be and be more than, well, just what you'd like to be. It was very beautiful the way the fierceness of Pound has settled down into a voiceless thing which only responded twice to me. Once I told a story of Ed Sanders, who has a beautiful picture that Pound at eighty would have a revival of life and have fifteen further years of power. The difficulty of talking to Pound is he doesn't talk anymore. He sits in an almost catatonic fix in silence. And the one word he said after I said that Sanders had that sense of him, he said, "Sanders has a sense of humor." [Laughter.] July 9, 2002 tue 10:15am

Sixteen Words For Water
A play about ezra pound and his encounter with an ancient Aboriginal myth, by Australian/American poet and playwright, Billy Marshall Stoneking.
http://www.geocities.com/stoneking31/sixteenwords.html

Extractions: In 1943, the American poet, Ezra Pound, was indicted by the United States government on the charge of treason. It was alleged that Pound, an American citizen, had made anti-American broadcasts over Italian radio during wartime, and that these same broadcasts had given "aid and comfort" to the enemy. By war's end Pound found himself in the custody of U.S. marshals. Mindful of the political hysteria of the times, and fearing for Pound's life, his wife, friends and colleagues, urged him to enter a plea of insanity as a means of escaping trial and the possibility of a death penalty. This he did, and the court subsequently upheld the plea. However, instead of releasing him into the care of his wife as had been expected, the government chose to confine him at St Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C., an institution that housed hundreds of the criminally insane. Pound - "one of the great literary figures of our time" - would remain incarcerated at St Elizabeths for nearly thirteen years. Sixteen Words for Water takes up Pound's life in the final days of his "imprisonment", when the balance between life and death had reached its most critical point. The Ezra Pound of the present play must choose between sanity and the possibility of the electric chair, or insanity and the surety of safety at the expense of freedom. In the midst of this, he finds himself invaded by strange thoughts - memories of the ancient Aboriginal myth of the Wandjina... the creative spirits of the Dreamtime who fashioned the world out of words and who, in the act of naming, threatened the world with chaos.

http://www.slider.com/enc/42000/Pound_Ezra_Loomis.htm

Extractions: Pound, Ezra Loomis Personae Exultations Canzoni (1911), and Ripostes imagists and later championing vorticism Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920), and the Cantos (1925-60), a brilliant, though sometimes obscure, epic work. Weaving together such diversified threads as myth and legend (particularly the story of Odysseus), Chinese poetry, troubadour ballads, political and economic theory, and modern jargon, the Cantos attempt to reconstruct the history of civilization. Pound's translations, noted more for tone and feeling than for scholarly accuracy, include the Anglo-Saxon Seafarer, poems from the Chinese, the Confucian books, Japanese No drama, Egyptian love poetry, and Sophocles' Women of Trachis. See his collected early poems, ed. Michael King and others (1982); his music criticism, ed. R. M. Schaefer (1977); his letters to James Joyce, ed. by Forrest Read (1968); the memoirs of his daughter, Mary de Rachewiltz (1971); biographies by Noel Stock (1970, rev. ed.1982) and Humphrey Carpenter (1988); studies by M. L. Rosenthal (1978), Michael Alexander (1979), Sanford Schwartz (1985), and G. Kearns (1989); bibliography by Donald Gallup (1983).
