Ezra Pound (1885-1972) is one of the most important and controversial American poets of the 20th century. One of the great innovators in Modernist poetry, Pound lived in Venice, at the beginning of his self-willed European expatriation in 1908, for lengthy periods in the 1920s and 1930s, and in the last ten years of his life. He died there and was buried on the island of San Michele, close to other poets and artists.
Venice appears again and again in his early poems and in The Cantos, as a "gold thread in the pattern" of his revolutionary and epoch-making epic poem. Pound investigated the early history of the Republic and its artistic achievements, devoting to it several "historical" Cantos, while in The Pisan Cantos, written as a prisoner of the U.S.Army after his pro-Fascist broadcasts from Radio Roma, and in the later parts of the poem, he remembers the city as a "sacred place", in which he found what would remain, in spite of time, change and his own "errors and wrecks".
This guidebook takes us to the many fascinating Venetian places that Pound wrote about, and allows us to meet the poet in his youth and old age and hear his haunting lines in the spots he cherished.
Two further itineraries take us to Verona and Sirmione, on Lake Garda, which were also of great importance in Pound's life and work.
