"The most enviable writers are those who, quite often unanalytically and unconsciously, have realized that there are different facets to their nature and are able to live and work with now one, now another, in the ascendant."

| |  | | | In Brief
Ezra Pound avidly supported Mussolini, openly criticized FRD, and was infamous for his anti-Semitic tirades. His ideal sounding board was Olivia Rossetti Agresti, an astute commentator on the Fascist scene. This is their correspondence, from 1937 through Pound's incarceration at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C. Never before published, their letters will change forever the way we look at Ezra Pound.
| | | | From The Publisher
During the height of his own literary acclaim, Ezra Pound became notorious for supporting Mussolini, openly criticizing Franklin Delano Roosevelt during the war, and launching anti-Semitic tirades. Until now the depth and breadth of his many virulent views could only be imagined. "I Cease Not to Yowl" provides the most comprehensive and sustained record to date of Ezra Pound's pro-Fascist activities and involvement. This never-before-published correspondence began in 1937 and continued throughout Pound's incarceration at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he was committed when he was found mentally unfit to stand trial for treason. The Pound-Agresti correspondence is a moving document, providing direct insight into Pound's recurring preoccupations, views, and opinions. These letters help dispel the view that Pound's fascism and anti-Semitism were anomalous and short-lived and that his Rome Radio ravings constituted mere rhetorical excesses of a mind under enormous pressure. On the contrary, Pound's correspondence with one who shared his pro-Fascist, pro-Axis, anti-Allies sentiments (though not his anti-Semitism or his impatience with the teachings of the Catholic church) establishes beyond doubt the permanence of his political and racial views.

"Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand."
