In a different vein, last night I got some fan mail that makes allusion to Pound so I would like to share it with the list. It involves my lonely campaign against the way American culture has come to help dominate the current Neo=Georgian style of poetry that our major and small presses so love and admire. I received this post: Dear Mr.Parcelli, Read your poem in terza limbo and your essay on Moyer's Movement. Incidently, the "s" was added to the name by those of our family who moved west because they were wanted in the East and Midwest for horse thievery. They have progressed greatly. Willam Bartley III is correct in his observation that "sometimes the Pennsylvania Dutchman is right", but not in this schmeercase. For your entertainment - a parody - I owe you one for explaining to me why I have been so bored at Border's poetry readings lately, and why I've stopped going to them. CANTICO DEL SOLUS IPSE The thought of what America would like If the Poets had a wide strangulation Troubles my sleep, The thought of what America, The thought of what America, The thought of what America would be like If the Poets had a wide strangulation Troubles my sleep. Nunc dimwheaties, now lettest thou thy savant, Now lettest thou thy savant Depart in pieces. The thought of what America would be like, Etc. Charlie Moyer Depart in pieces may refer to Orpheus the quintiessential poet. Certainly Charlie is referring to Pound's self-imposed exile here. Also see de Tocqueville, Democracy in America: "I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America. "
