Even before establishing New Directions, James Laughlin had
encountered and studied with one of the greatest poets of this
century: Ezra Pound. These selected letters capture the spirit of
their growing relationship from pupil-teacher to publisher-author.
In his idiosyncratic prose, Pound's correspondence summons up both
the man as he was actually known and the literary figure.
Literature, music, friends, and politics fill his pages. And even
when Laughlin's and Pound's politics totally diverged during World
War II, Pound's respect for Laughlin remained intact. Also of great
interest are the years spent by Pound at St. Elizabeths and his
observations while there. These letters give insight into the state
of Pound's mind and the supposition of his insanity. Ezra Pound and
James Laughlin: Selected Letters is a modernist source book -
essential reading for anyone interested in tracing the real
development of twentieth-century literature.
