Dear Poundians:

Given the dead air here...How about hearing from list members about
projects they're working on?

Many of you know my interests in Pound, radio, and the Jews, so I won't go
there.  But I also found in the Columbia Rare Book and Manuscript Library
an imitation of Shakespeare's "Sonnet 105" that Pound wrote around 1900.
It's fascinating on a number of accounts: Pound and Shakespeare is an
underestudied connection; and the poem shows Pound to have been an astute
reader and accomplished writer in the period between juvenalia and the
early Venice/London work.

I've never seen any reference to this work.  Have any of you?
