description: Coyle (English, Colgate U.) presents 11 essays by experts from leading universities that demonstrate the importance of African American figures and fantasies to Ezra Pound's imaginative life. At the same time, they point out the sometimes vast differences between historical figures and ideological fantasies. Some of the essays treat African American motifs in The Cantos ; others explore Pound's relations with three generations of African American poets; and, finally, David Roessel (editor and author) publishes for the first time Pound's complete, 40-year correspondence with Langston Hughes as well as his brief exchange with Countee Cullen.
