A Packet of Poems for Ezra Pound

On the evening of July 8, 2015, the attendees of the twenty-sixth biannual Ezra Pound International Conference, held in Dorf Tirol, Italy, gathered inside a small library just up the hill from the castle where Pound's daughter, Mary de Rachewiltz, lives with her son and his family. As evening turned to night, conference attendees were treated to a reading featuring poems written and performed by poets influenced by the life and work of Ezra Pound. This volume offers a selection of those poems. Poets include David Cappella, Patrizia de Rachewiltz, Justin Kishbaugh, David Moody, Stephen Romer, J. R. Forman, Eloisa Bressan, Mary de Rachewiltz, Mary Maxwell, Biljana D. Obradovic, Ron Smith, Sean Mark, Matthew Porto, and John Gery
