Dear Listmates,
 
Can anybody answer the following question I received? Thanks in advance.
 
  ... I am curious to know
  the following: do you have any idea if Pound gave a reading at Spoleto in
  1968?  I remember hearing him read there (I was all of sixteen), but as the
  years go on I question my memory.  Please help me with this if you can.
 
To this I quoted Carpetner, pp. 888f., where EP is said to read other poets'
poems in the Spoleto Festival 1965. It was, Carpenter notes, 'first of [EP's]
several visits to the Spoleto Festival', so 1968 is a possibility.  Then
I asked if the questioner heard EP read _his_ poems and got the following reply:
 
  I wish I could tell you that I remember what he read.  I thought he was
  reading his own poems.  What I do remember is being in the back of what might
  have been a theatre, it was dark inside and the man reading was old and hard
  (for me) to understand.  How I possibly remembered that it was Ezra Pound
  I'll never know.  Perhaps my sister and brother-in-law were impressed enough
  to make an impression on me.  Anyway, I'd love for you to post my query.
 
So here it is.  I'd appreciate any input anybody could offer.
