The Pound sessions at the American Literature Association Conference over Memorial Day in San Francisco went well though we had two speakers who had to cancel at the last minute (one because he had just gotten a job requiring an immediate move to Washington, D.C., the other because the person she was caring for back in Chicago took suddenly ill). Luckily, both were in the session Pound and Politics so we turned it into a group discussion. It is time to think of panel topics for the ALA Conference in Boston next Memorial Day. One that immediately occurs is Pound and the New England Heritage -- I thought Pound and the Adams family but that might be a bit too narrow. Suggestions are welcome. I can organize it again if you want, or, if Burt wishes to take it back, he can do it. The key now is panel ideas and paper proposals. Cheers! Tim Redman
