Absolutely, and that's what's so disorienting about these claims that Pound has
somehow been marginalized because of his political views. Pound is still taught
in the academy and he continues to exert an enormous influence on contemporary
poetry. Yes, he's underappreciated and yes, there have been some bad books about
his politics. That's true of most writers, so let's stop tilting at windmills.
