I am trying to learn something about Juan Ramon
Masoliver, an associate of Pound in Rapallo in the
early 1930s. They worked together on the Supplemento
Letterario of the Rapallo paper <Il Mare> in 1932-33.
Masoliver, whose interests centered on surrealist
poetry, seems to have returned to Barcelona by the
early 1940s. I have put together a tentative
bibliography (highlight: translation of Cavalcante in
1976), which I would happily send to anyone who would
like to see it.
 
Masoliver makes very few appearances in the secondary
literature. Zapponi, <EP in Italia>, refers to him
among the Amici di Tigullio, and Victoria Forde, in
her biography of Bunting, includes a foto in which he
appears with Bunting, Eugen Haas,  and Manoletti (2
other Amici di Tigullio).
 
Does anyone know anything about him? Come across any
references to him? Seen any letters from/to him at
Yale or elsewhere?
