A propos de l’auteur

Ezra Pound (1885-1972) was a seminal American modernist poet. He famously edited T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land—but also played a major role in promoting the work of James Joyce, Robert Frost, and Ernest Hemingway.  After World War I, he began his unfinished masterwork, The Cantos.  During World War II, Pound broadcast pro-Fascist propaganda from Italy.  Charged with treason, he spent over twelve years confined to a mental hospital.
