>>> For those of you who do not know of this award, here is a

>>> followed by:
>>> Leon Surette (Pound in Purgatory, 2000),
>>> Walter Baumann (Roses in the Steel Dust, 2001),
>>> Margaret Fisher (Ezra Pound's Radio Operas, 2004),
>>> Peter Liebregts (Pound and Neoplatonism, 2005),
>>> Mary De Rachewiltz together with David and Joanna Moody for their

>>> For the articles we can extend the submissions period until January
>>> 1st. Please don?t be shy to propose your own work ? all I ask is that
>>> the article has an abstract which clearly states the argument and
>>> shows in what way the article breaks new ground, makes a discovery, or
>>> is a departure from established practices and assumptions. In January
>>> I will let you know what article proposals I have received.
>>>
>>> If you like this initiative, I would be deeply grateful for
>>> sponsorship ? at present the society does not receive any membership
>>> dues and any donation would help us ensure we continue to give the
>>> society awards and honour the bright ideas and the courageous research
>>> Poundians do. To donate, please write to [log in to unmask]
>>>
>>> I look forward to your proposals ? I am now investigating possible
>>> channels for a society mailbox ? I hope to reach a decision before
>>> mid-November. A mailbox could be a temporary solution that would give
>>> more shape to the EPS; it would also give us the possibility to vote
