For the past year, I have been canvassing Neo-Nazis, Neo-Fascists, White
Supremacists, the Christian Identity movement and other groups asking them how
much influence if any Pound's poetry, especialy the Cantos, has had on their
ideologies. The animated discussions with En Lin Wei as well as the spate of
publications that attempt to present the Cantos, as one list member put it, as
"the anthem of Fascism", prompted me to pursue this project. I therefore began
querying the voices most likely to take up and sing this "anthem." I drafted
an article last week and will publish my findings in the next issue of
FlashPoint Magazine which should be available on line soon.

I, also, completed a 'final' version of my poem Tale of the Tribe. My own work
always draws from the Cantos and other high modernist sources. Tale of the
Tribe also owes a great debt to the work of Louis Zukofsky. Also, completed is
another long poem (70 pages) which draws heavily on the styles of Ed Dorn and
Mel Tolson as well as Pound, called the Millenary's Centos. I will 'publish'
the 100 page unabridged version of Tale of the Tribe in the next issue of
FlashPoint.

I have continued researching the eschatological dimensions of contemporary
scientific epistemology toward a new work tentatively called The Eschatology
of Reason. It will be an expansion upon themes touched upon in earlier work
but will focus on the contexts of an end time which are richly manifest in the
contemporary scientific literature. Carlo Parcelli
