10/18/09 Ezra Pound reads from his Sestina Alta Forte
In the recording studio, the producer must have said "This guy is on fire. Put that tympani drum next to him and see what he does with it". It is a funny thing about Pound. He was born in Idaho and raised in Pennsylvania. At age 25 he went to Europe and somehow he miraculously picked up one hell of a Scottish-like accent. I am thinking about moving there just so I can roll my r's like him. Enjoy.
