Anyone who loves the Cantos owes Terrell an incalculable debt. for the Companion. I -- being that rarity, the non-academic Pound enthusiast --only discovered the existence of the Companion a few years ago when I found it in a bookstore; and I realized as soon as I opened it that this was the volume I had longed for ever since I was first captivated and mystified by the Cantos as an undergraduate some 3 decades ago. I regret that I never tried to contact him to express my appreciation for this work, which so greatly enlarged my understanding and appreciation of Pound's masterpiece. Thanks to him for many a "precise definition."
