Hello .
I am Poundian for about 12 years . In 1985 / when I was 20 years
old / I read first translations of E. P . verses into polish and
I decided to learn English , because I wanted to read "Cantos"
in original language . Now I am completely convinced that importance
of his poetry for New World is on that same level , like
importance of Homer's poetry for my old Europe .
Anyway Ezra's poetry is still actual and will be for sure for
a long ,long time .
2 years ago I started studying creative writing at Jagiellonian
University in Cracow and naturally the only one subject of my
interest was "Cantos" . / I even made some translations friendly
welcomed by my teachers /.
I am not the scientist - but the poet and in season from april
to november I work in the forest . / I graduated forestry in 1994/.
/ well - combining poetry and forestry in Silesia is possible -
we are a little bit just like Irish people / .
Last year I was working in the Mt Silesia area / that mountain
is quite famous in ancient celtic and germanic mythology / and
I found a lot of oaks growing on top of these mountains / with
some juniperuses in the environment /. Oaks were 120 years old
but their height was no more than 5 meters - really strange picture .
Certainly thats irrational ,but I belive I saw Quercus on
Mt Sumeru and today is 1 April so you can belive me or not .
