You're absolutely right, Michael. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. And good chance his work's fresher in your mind than mine as it has been some years (we cover a poem or two of his in my intro to western lit class, but that doesn't count). Ok, Andrew, thanks for letting me know. I wasn't sure. I took a fascinating class on Imagism as a freshman in college. The professor actually met the guy (I'm sure he's long since passed on). No mention of Pound's other hobbies... Which was hard for me to take when I did find out (soon after that, prob some other class). Anyway, I certainly don't blame anyone for making that a reason to reject his work or his influence. That's not the way I approach literature, but some bad, bad goings on in Pound's history.

Oh boy...
