John Kasper was a militant far-right activist who first came to
prominence with his violent campaigns against desegregation in the
Civil Rights era. Ezra Pound was the seminal figure in
Anglo-American modernist literature and one of the most important
poets of the 20th century. This is the first book to
comprehensively explore the extensive correspondence - lasting over
a decade and numbering hundreds of letters - between the two men.
John Kasper and Ezra Pound examines the mutual influence the two
men exerted on each other in Pound's later life: how John Kasper
developed from a devotee of Pound's poetry to an active right-wing
agitator; how Pound's own ideas about race and American politics
developed in his discussions with Kasper and how this informed his
later poetry. Shedding a disturbing new light on Ezra Pound's
committed engagement with extreme right-wing politics in Civil
Rights-era America, this is an essential read for students of
20th-century literature.
