Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector.
 Born in the Allegheny West neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life.
 She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, and Henri Matisse, would meet.
Petr Mikeš (August 19, 1948 Zlín, Czechoslovakia – February 8, 2016 Benešov, Czech Republic) was a Czech poet, translator, and editor.
 In the 1970s and 1980s he took part in the samizdat edition "Texty přátel" (Texts of Friends).
 From 1993–1997 he was the influential editor-in-chief of the Moravian publishing house Votobia, and from 2000–2004 at the Periplum publishing house (and co-founder: he took its name from a line by Ezra Pound).
 He was a significant translator of Ezra Pound into Czech (he translated four generations of the Pound family into Czech: Homer Pound, Ezra Pound, Mary de Rachewiltz, and Patrizia de Rachewiltz).
 He translated members of Pound's "circle", including Basil Bunting, T.E. Hulme, and James Joyce, and even wrote a screenplay for a biopic on the life of Ezra Pound, "Solitary Volcano" (unproduced).
Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972) was an expatriate American poet and critic, as well as a major figure in the early modernist movement.
 His contribution to poetry began with his development of Imagism, a movement derived from classical Chinese and Japanese poetry, stressing clarity, precision and economy of language.
 His best-known works include "Ripostes" (1912), "Hugh Selwyn Mauberley" (1920) and the unfinished 120-section epic, "The Cantos" (1917–1969).
Claude Minière (born October 25, 1938, Paris) is an essayist and poet.
 Initially, he took part in various avant-garde activities before turning towards a more solitary, more classical approach to writing, never forgetting, however, the conquests of Rimbaud, Ezra Pound and free-verse.
 For fifteen years he taught at l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts and is the author of a “panorama” of artistic creativity in France between 1965 and 1996: "L’art en France 1965-1995" (Nouvelles editions françaises, Paris, 1995).
 Together with Margaret Tunstill, he translated two works by Ezra Pound: "Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, A Memoir" ("Henri Gaudier-Brzeska", ed.
 Tristram, 1992) and "Treatise on Harmony" ("Traité d’Harmonie", ed.
 Julien Salvy, 1980).
 In addition to the many collections of his poetry he has produced three remarkable essays : "Pound caractère chinois" (ed.
 Gallimard); "Barnett Newman" (ed.
 Tarabuste); and "Descartes" (ed.
 Le Cherche-Midi).
The Pound Era (ISBN  ) is a book by Hugh Kenner, published in 1971.
 It is considered by many to be Kenner's masterpiece, and is generally seen as a seminal text on not only Ezra Pound but Modernism in general.
 As the title suggests, it places Ezra Pound at the center of the Modernist movement in literature and art during the early 20th century.
Portrait of Gertrude Stein ("Portrait de Gertrude Stein ") is a painting of Gertrude Stein by Pablo Picasso, begun in 1905 and finished the following year.
Gertrude Stein is an outdoor bronze sculpture of Gertrude Stein, located at Bryant Park in Manhattan, New York.
 The casting was installed in 1992 and is based on a model created by Jo Davidson in Paris in 1923.
 It neighbors the New York Public Library Main Branch, which, according to the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, commemorates Stein's "significant literary contributions".
Julien Davies Cornell (March 17, 1910 – December 2, 1994) was an American lawyer.
 Cornell, a graduate of Swarthmore College and the Yale Law School and a descendent of Ezra Cornell, was a pacifist who defended many conscientious objectors who refused to serve in World War II and wrote two books on the subject of conscientious objection, "The Conscientious Objector and the Law" (1943) and "Conscience and the State" (1944).
 Cornell's greatest notoriety came from his defence of Ezra Pound following Pound's indictment for treason for his wartime broadcasts denouncing the Allied war effort and its political leaders and praising Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, an experience Cornell chronicled in "The Trial of Ezra Pound" (1966).
Pound's Artists: Ezra Pound and the Visual Arts in London, Paris and Italy was an exhibition held in 1985 to mark the centenary of Ezra Pound's birth.
Mina Loy (born Mina Gertrude Löwy; 27 December 1882 – 25 September 1966), was a British artist, writer, poet, playwright, novelist, futurist, feminist, designer of lamps, and bohemian.

 Her poetry was admired by T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Basil Bunting, Gertrude Stein, Francis Picabia and Yvor Winters, among others.
