Thanks, Martin Deporres & Burt. Thanks a lot. alex -------- PS: I'm still surprised about how Casillo is being dealt with here. Still you wouldn't put his book onto the same shelf with, say, Torrey, would you? I understood Cassilo's book as being the very first pretty SOUND attempt of speaking out and NOT trying to taboo these things many of us Pounders still tend to keep silent about. Obviously we have got our very specific problem here: we admirea poet who at the same time did things we silently wish he wd NOT have done. The Doob collection there; we can't do as if Radio Roma hasn't happened. Maybe we non-right-wing Germans of the immediate post-war generation have our special sensitivities - especially in the light of the fact that the neo nazis are becoming a topic here which can't be brushed aside any more as a funny little post-reunification episode not worth worrying about. On the other hand for me personally Pound as zoon politikon has never succeeded in distorting my reading him as the great poet he is. I'm looking forward to soon receive & read the Ellis book Dan has mentioned in a recent posting dealing with Wei's strange ideas about political correctness... _________________________________________________________________________ Alexander Schmitz - P.O.
