Indeed, as wonderfully EP-like as Omar Pound is, his father was not E.P.
but an Egyptian. Omar Pound has ed. several good collections of his
father's, oops, EP's, letters.
 
All Best,

I presume it's just the way I'm reading it - I expect someone will tell me that EP and DP travelled together to Egypt and somehow Perloff knows that it was on this trip that DP became pregnant. I just found the review confusing and wanted to check it out with better-qualified Poundians.
