As to introducing others to EP - I've never, not once, succeeded. I quit trying long ago. Those that seemed, way back when, like they might find something in his work, either had already met and dismissed him [usually as a great arts-advocate but willfully oblique and unmusical(if you can imagine) poet. Oh, yeah, and a Fascist.] Almost all of the shockingly few people I know who read him regularly there are only one or two academics, which surprises me. Not being an academic, I wonder how the profession has gotten such a bad knock, not unlike lawyers (My brother-in-law just announced his candidacy for President and has been roundly and savagely attacked because he is, great god almighty, a lawyer) Who did Pound challenge to a duel which would consist of flinging unsold copies of their books at each other?
