Ezra Pound is one of America's best known and least read men of letters. His poetry - universally acknowledged as a high point of modernist verse - has sometimes been overshadowed by his political speech, which was so controversial that it caused him to be thrown in an iron cage and later an insane asylum.  Ever since, Pound's political views have drawn more condemnation than comprehension, but they are vital reading for those who care about America's fate, and hope for it a better future than to serve as the military wing of... well, let us say, of interest groups whose interests are not those of the American people.

This torrent includes a large collection of recordings of Pound reading his poetry and Pound's recording "for the record" on his "four steps" of political development; it also contains the following texts:

Comments

Magnificent!
THNX!
Btw, from his self-critic:
"My own work does not make sense. A mess ... my writing, stupidity and ignorance all the way through ... the intention was bad, anything I’ve done has been an accident, in spite of my spoiled intentions the preoccupation with stupid and irrelevant matters ... but my worst mistake was the stupid suburban anti-Semitic prejudice, all along that spoiled everything. ... I found after 70 years that I was not a lunatic but a moron. I should have been able to do better. ... It’s all doubletalk ... it’s all tags and patches ... a mess" !!!...
Thanks for your gratitude, but the quotation which you attribute to Pound is highly dubious. He never published anything to that effect, and the words you cite were attributed to him by Allen Ginsberg, a jew.

In short, the words you cite are hearsay from a biased source, and are contradicted by the documentary record. Pound may indeed have made some self critical remark, but it is highly doubtful that it corresponds to the words Ginsberg put into his mouth.

Pound was an outspoken man. If there was anything important about his views he wanted to correct, he would have put it in writing.
Thanks a lot. I agree: Allen Ginsberg was a liar.
Thanks!!
