A Rare Recording of Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound was a prominent early modernist poet who became a controversial figure due to his political affiliations and actions during World War II, including supporting fascist regimes and making propaganda broadcasts. After his arrest in Italy for treason, he was detained in the United States and later confined in a psychiatric hospital for over a decade. Following his release, he lived the remainder of his life in Italy until his death in 1972.
