Those sessions of 1958 done in some takes about my birth date.

I'll admit that reading Pound, as frustrating and obnoxious as he was, opened up quite a bit. The first 33 or so Cantos, the so-called Rock Drill, and the Pisan Cantos are fantastic, but then there are sections like the founding fathers section that seemingly go on forever and lose the poetic sense completely for me. Anyway, I'm going to possibly take a little field trip to the St Elizabeth's building. Perhaps I will report back!Newkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02246213751915983151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612968802477776743.post-6956104579245185252009-04-08T02:54:00.000-07:002009-04-08T02:54:00.000-07:00thanks for this - I've never heard this recordingt...thanks for this - I've never heard this recording<BR/><BR/>there's a brilliant little essay, "Pounding Fascism," by Charles Bernstein (collected up in, I think, <I>A Poetics</I>, where he argues that Pound's collage methods & radical poetics in the Cantos ultimately undermine the authoritarian language & assertions<BR/><BR/>lots more Pound recordings available @:<BR/><BR/>http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Pound.htmlArcturushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060173224625105511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612968802477776743.post-54558036994231805922009-04-05T10:08:00.000-07:002009-04-05T10:08:00.000-07:00Yeah, Pound was a bad bad man, but the poetry is t...Yeah, Pound was a bad bad man, but the poetry is there. I didn't know about these recordings but I'm very grateful to have the chance to hear them. The Cantos in particular really have to be seen -- not just the ideographs, but the layout of the words on the page. But hearing this reminds me of voice, about which I sometimes forget when reading Pound.<BR/><BR/>You'll have some appreciative folks here with poetry posts.
