Here is another post on the Little Review Calendar and the Pound Era. Wayne Pounds has asked me to forward it. It settles the question, I think: I send you this directly rather than to p-list, as I have withdrawn from the list temporarily and so cannot send mail to it. You may post it, if you choose. To answer the question about Little Review and the P Era, I quote a paragraph from an essay i just finished called "Annus 1 Post Scriptum Ulixes, First Year of the Pound Era." I think this essay will appear in an Italian publication by midyear. Here's the paragraph, which is part of a chronology for 1922 within the essay. (The calendar itself is in vol. IV p.220 of EP's Poetry and Prose.) Jan. 24 Pound to Eliot, 24 Saturnus, An 1 p.s.U. This letter is one of the key documents to understanding 1922. It speaks confidently of the success of Pound's caesarian operation on Eliot's poem (first handed to him by the author the previous November), suggesting he is finding the formal keys to bring off his own long poem. The confidence is manifest in a more striking way, in a half-playful deeply serious new-age calendar reform. "p.s.U." abbreviates post scriptum Ulixes, the first year after the writing of Ulysses (his "Paris Letter" in the Dial for June began quoting Homer in Greek: "All men should 'Unite to give praise to Ulysses.'") Joyce's book, with perfect syncronicity, had been completed on Pound's birthday the year before--October 30th, the Feast of Zagreus. The playfulness is that of Dada, for the calendar appeared in the Spring 1922 issue of the Little Review, a Dada number dedicated to Picabia. Wayne Leon Surette English Dept.
