    I recently wrote an Ezra Pound tribute poem titled Hellhole and was immediately asked why I support fascism. Boy, did that turn into a long and interesting convo. Anyway, excellent short documentary. Informative and succinct! I'm glad I stumbled on this RUclips channel.

    T Y for this documentary, covered a lot in brief time. It was startling to hear that Pound was arrested in Italy by our military, treated cruelly as a traitor. then sent to us for "imprisionment". Never knew that. The reason may have been that Pound spoe against the current economic system and encouraged the researcher Eustace Mullins (a man with a bad rep.true or not) into reporting the 1910 secret plan to begin the Federal Reserve Bank (privately owned) whereby a small group of bankers would, over time, inherit control over all us money. No wonder he was declared non compos mentis. Don't mess with the bankers.

      wow that's amazing
      he is my favorite poet and due to activism and politics they locked him in a mental hospital and treated him like garbage he had zero mental illness he was just willing to speak truth to power. a man name Eustace Mullins was his protégé and worked for the library of congress. Eustace wrote a lot of books and mentioned Ezra quite often because Ezra taught him everything he knew.

    Pound remains my model for what constitutes a good line of poetry. I was very fortunate to study him under Hugh Kenner. I like to think he'd like my work. He'd certainly see a bit of himself.
    Terrible that he was so overcome by hatred.
    19:17 That Modernism "encouraged rhythms in the sequence of a musical phrase." I recall the rest of that quote reads "as distinct from the sequence of a metronome."

      Dave T. The Wasteland is not a great poem, even though Pound did his best to improve the original manuscript, cutting it by 2/3( see the mss in the Beinecke Library at Yale University, where I read them about 55 years ago).From one who has never been a big fan of Eliot’s poetry.

    Pound had a gift for creating imagery with words. However, his anti-Jew stance was clearly seen in much of his writings. That he took inspiration from Hitler is a sad fact that relegates him to the dustbin of antisemitic history.

      Do you falsely identify as a "jew"? Only Arabs are Semetic and I do not dislike Arabs so I am not anti-Semetic. "jews" are not Semetic, White, Asian, Black nor a religion but are their own unique, unnatural and unnecessary mixed racial category and false identity.

      The German National Socialists and Mussolini's Fascist party had more in common than people realize. Are you aware that the WW2 conflict between USA, Soviet Union, Britain and France against the National Socialists was not just a war against Hitler and the National Socialist party, but it ran much deeper than that... the German economy was the strongest in Europe in early 1900's, outperforming all others. Their products could be made cheaper and were better quality than everyplace else in Europe..
