Ezra Pound, Ends And Beginnings

Inspired by the city of Venice, this collection draws together essays and poems commemorating the beginning and end of Ezra Pound's poetic career-starting in 1908, when Pound chose Venice for his first home abroad and published there his first book of poems, and ending in 1972, with Pound's death and burial in Venice, his simple grave now a place of literary pilgrimage.
