Title: The correspondence of Ezra Pound and Senator William Borah
Description: "Already one of the most famous of American poets, Ezra Pound was an expatriate living in Rapallo, Italy, when he began his six-year correspondence with Idaho senator William Borah in 1933. These thirty-one previously unpublished letters document Pound's efforts to educate, for the role of the presidency, one Republican statesman he believed could beat Roosevelt if nominated by his party.".

"Enhanced by Sarah C. Holmes's generous annotations on the individuals, organizations, legislative bills, and theories Pound mentions - often cryptically - in his letters, this volume broadens our understanding of Pounds convictions, especially his admiration for Mussolini, and raises new questions about mixing poetry with politics."--BOOK JACKET.
