I am certainly out here, and would love to participate in a panel concerning Pound and Islam. I am deep in this topic now. If there are others so interested, I would hope we could make a panel of the topic. Thanks Burt. Robert The person of excellence understands what is moral.

I was unable to attend the MLA this year, but I understand from Alec Marsh that that there was some discussion of possible Pound Society panels at the ALA conference in San Francisco, May25-28. For the past two years, Tim Redman has taken responsibility for panels at the ALA, but Alec reports that this year Tim will be in Europe at the tim e of the conference. It is my understanding the Robert Kibler raised the possibility of a panel on Pound and Islam. Robert, are you out there? Is this information correct? If so, is anyone else on this list interested in such a panel? I would be interested in putting together a panel on Pound and the poets of the San Francisco Renaissance. If you think that you might like to join such a panel, please send me a message to that effect ASAP. The deadline for program listings is January 30. Burt Hatlen
