Pennsound at the University of Pennsylvania continue their fine series of poetry recordings with the collected poetry recordings of Ezra Pound. (see also Tributes to Two Great American Poets in this blog.)
Pound’s poetry and voice, whatever you might think of his political views, are extraordinary. The way he rolls his Rs is fabulous. I wonder where he picked that up?
Included in the presentation is a history of the recordings by Richard Sieburth
