Can EP's Poetics be split? Namely, via Williams' old saying: "It's not what
you say, but how you say it". The HOW seems to be imperative. And i'm talking
FORM THEORY here, used by Pound, pragmatically. This is not to simply brush
aside politics, economics, et al, but to change the scope. Pound's greatest
achievement may have been to advance the art in terms of craft and technique,
pushing it in new directions, so to speak. Food for thought.
