Pound would have been beligerant to the comments of any person,
non-poet and established poet alike, making any critical comment
towards his work. The notion that a non-poet (or even a poet with a
significant body of work who is not recognized by the poetry police)
can't have anything worthy to say about poetics is nothing more than
CONTEMPT (probably a symptom of his narcicistic personality disorder --
but I am a non-psychiatrist diagnosis his contemptuous attitude so you
can dismiss me.) Any person's -- whether academic or not, poet or not,
established or not -- who theorizes, analyzes, criticizes, should have
their theory, analysis, criticism evaluated on it's own merits, rather
than being summararily dismissed because it doesn't conform to the
notion that only established and recognized poets (usually by the
poetry police) have anything worthy to say about poetry (the opposite
is true as well.)
