When Ezra Pound arrived in Washington from Italy in 1945, a prisoner charged with treason, he landed in a war's-end bureaucracy which could offer little in the way of a literary scene. Briefly jailed and then transferred to St. Elizabeth's, to a secure ward for the criminally insane, he would have had almost no contact with poets in Washington anyway. Most of his visitors were ..

Barry Ahearn: William Carlos Williams and Alterity (1994) Many critics have noticed the paradoxes and contradictions in the work of William Carlos Williams but few have analyzed them in detail. Professor Ahearn argues that Williams criticism has not gone far enough in recognizing the uses Williams saw for contradiction. He contends that Williams began to acquire his own voice ..

The most laudable aspect of Paul Mariani's critical biography of William Carlos Williams is that it largely succeeds in placing him, in his biographer's words, as ''the single most important American poet of the twentieth century,'' and though Williams is dead almost 20 years now, there has been no poet in that time to deny him his primacy. Among his American contemporaries, h..

RE: Tribute to Freud In her Freud-inspired and-directed search, H.D. recovers threads of her life to discover personal and universal patterns: “It was not that he conjured up the past and invoked the future. It was a present that was in the past or a past that was in the future.” She found her own personal pattern to be bound with Freud’s, professing further, “The years..

William CARLOS WILLIAMS was a furious poetic revolutionary — furiously working over a lifetime to reinvent American poetry, furious at poetry he considered backward, and at critics and editors who didn’t get it.

A strand of modernism, Imagism was officially launched in 1912 when..

On April 18, 1958, the indictment of treason against Ezra Pound was dismissed. After a dozen years at St. Elizabeth's, he was released to the custody of his wife, Dorothy. Pound's plans were crystal clear. First, he made a sentimental journey back to the romantic scenes of his youth, his childhood home in Wyncote, Pennsylvania; to the apple tree where he once frolicked with Hi..

Most of the time, the physician's labor was indeed salvation, for himself and his needy patients. But at other moments, a fine line separated the excitement of daily work from just plain drudgery: The Poor (1921) By constantly tormenting them with reminder of lice in their children's hair, the School Physician first brought down their hatred on him. But by this familiarity the..

"Is that right. What did he do?" "He broadcast against this country, from Italy, while we were at war." "That's bad, you can't do that. What did he say?" Then I went on to give a brief outline of Ezra's international opinions, the emphasis he lays on the exchange, the international gang, what Ezra calls F.D.R.'s failure to eradicate the basic evil at the critical point, his in..
