		Pound was born in Hailey, Idaho, United States to Homer Loomis and Isabel Weston Pound.
		Though Pound stays within the hexatonic scale to evoke the feel of troubadour melodies, modern invention runs throughout, from the stream of unrelenting dissonance in the mother's prayer to the grand shape of the work's aesthetic arc over a period of almost an hour.
		Pound did much to publicize the movement and was instrumental in bringing it to the attention of the wider public (he was particularly important in the artistic careers of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and Wyndham Lewis).

	BK82 Ezra Pound, Ezra Pound and Japan: Letters and Essays
		Pound thanks Noguchi for the gift of his book The Pilgrimage (D15e4) and comments about his own lack of knowledge of Japan: ‘Of your country I know almost nothing’, but ‘surely if the east and the west are ever to understand each other that understanding must come slowly and come first through the arts’.
		Pound continues to think of travelling to Japan (see also 59i, 82e1, 84, and 176f-g), and inquires about the possibility of publishing his ‘news or interpretations of Europe’ in a Japanese English-language paper, noting that this ‘might be a first step toward getting to Tokyo’.
		Pound notes that the Japan Times is his ‘last remaining source of information’ about the United States, and that he has not even been able to learn if James Laughlin has brought out the American edition of Cantos LII-LXXI (see 52), which in fact had appeared on 17 September.

	Ezra Pound - What Did He Really Say?
		Pound sometimes resorted to the use of ethnic slurs, but earthy expressions and salty language were integral to the poet's style.
		Pound felt there was much to be said for the social and economic achievements of Italy and Germany and that they could prove a model for the rest of the Western World: "Every social reform that has gone into effect in Germany and Italy should be defended," he said.
		Pound's main concern was with usury and other economic sins which he conceived were being committed by an international conspiracy of Jewish bankers who were the powers behind the throne of England and had succeeded in duping the government of the United States.

	Pound, Ezra Loomis. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		An extremely important influence in the shaping of 20th-century poetry, he was one of the most famous and controversial literary figures of the century—praised as a subtle and complex modern poet, dismissed as a naive egotist and pedant, condemned as a traitor and reactionary.
		By 1925 Pound was settled in Italy, where his literary ideas started to take a political and economic turn.
		Pound’s major works are Homage to Sextus Propertius (1918), Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920), and the Cantos (1925–60), a brilliant, though sometimes obscure, epic work.

	Ezra Pound
		Pound soon lost interest in Imagism, and after disputing with the poet Amy Lowell, Pound called the movement "Amygism." With Wyndham Lewis and the sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, who was killed in 1915, he founded 'Vorticism', which produced a magazine, Blast.
		Pound's translations based on Fenollosa's notes, collected in CATHAY (1915), are considered among the most beautiful of his writings.

	Marjorie Perloff: Pound Ascendant
		And further: Pound’s prescription “Do not retell in mediocre verse what has already been done in good prose” reminded poets and their readers that even the freest free verse must justify its rhythms and line breaks, whereas “good prose” is itself an art form.
		Pound met Mary Fenollosa, widow of the American Orientalist Ernest Fenollosa, who entrusted the poet with her husband’s unpublished notebooks containing transliterations and translations of Chinese poetry as well as drafts of Japanese Noh plays.
		It suggests that, however advanced Pound was in his critical prose—a prose that provides us with us with one of the cornerstones of Modernist poetics—and however advanced Pound’s canto technique came to be, with its intricate fusion of ideogram, documentary, mythography, and citation—his erotic “science” looked to a past that had never, of course, existed.

	Amazon.com: The Cantos of Ezra Pound (New Directions Paperbook): Books: Ezra Pound (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		When Ezra Pound, one of the top 150 poets ever to have been born in Idaho in the mid-1880s, was an impressionable young man living in Venice, his application for a job as a gondolier was turned down on account of his being "a miserable, skinny little runt." That hurt.
		Pound's poetic genius comes through in the Drafts and Fragments of Cantos at the end of the book, in which we get a glimpse of how beautiful his language is when unencumbered by the ulterior motifs of his ideology; however, it is too little, too late.
		Pound kicked into the 20th century full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, since he had nothing to say, and was in fact a kind of mental and spiritual dyslexic.

		Although the opera was thought to be unfinished and lost at the time of Pound's death, in 1983 the American composer and conductor Robert Hughes located the various manuscripts and assembled a complete work.

	Weird Words: Pound
		Such pounds went out of use in the nineteenth century because the law changed to permit the impounder of the animals to keep them on his own land, so there was no longer any need for a separate parish enclosure.
		The words pond and pound were often used interchangeably (which is why impound can have the sense of storing water in a reservoir).
		Modern pounds for the safe-keeping of animals don’t have the physical resonances of these old stone enclosures, but their name perpetuates this odd word history.

	Banque du Liban: Lebanese Banknotes
		Following the downfall of the Ottoman Empire in September 1918, the Turkish pound was replaced by a sterling-based Egyptian currency (issued by a private British institution) as legal tender in the states under the joint French and British mandate.
		In 1937, two years before the expiry of the 15-year period, the BSL was extended for another 25 years to issue in Lebanon a Lebanese currency separate from the Syrian currency, both of which could be used interchangeably in either state.
		Although the currency was Lebanese in name, it remained a disguised French franc until 1941, when it was linked to the pound sterling after the defeat of France and the invasion of Lebanon by the allied forces.

		"Hugh Kenner's The Pound Era could as well be known as the Kenner era, for there is no critic who has more firmly established his claim to valuable literary property than has Kenner to the first three decades of the 20th century in England.
		Author of pervious studies of Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis and Pound (to name a few), Kenner bestrides modern literature if not like a colossus then at least a presence of formidable proportions.
		Kenner's study...is not so much a book as a library, or better, a new kind of book in which biography, history, and the analysis of literature are so harmoniously articulated that every page has a narrative sense....
