Carrol,
If you haven't compared Adams' writings to what EP filtered into the
Cantos - at least Frederik Sanders has done so, in the 70s: "John Adams
Speaking - Pound's Sources for the Adams' Cantos". An indispensable book
[U of Maine at Orono P].
Incidentally - Basil Bunting once told an interviewer (might have been
in the "American Odyssey" film on EP) that he found The Adams Cantos [of
all Cantos !] "very entertaining". And indeed they are.
