Dear Demetres, "The place of Pound's Music in his oeuvre," or similar, please. First thing to come to mind. David Moody has been giving a lot of thought to this topic, as have we. This would be so much better at MLA than ALA. At the ALA conference in SF a few years ago, the 8 AM panel had 3 or 4 people attending. It was a shame because Tim's presentation was brilliant. At any rate, with this short notice, I'll stay cryptic and hope for the best.
