my name is jeffrey daniel miller. i am a poet. i'm joining this list in hopes that i can use the info i get from it to help me in my quest to get past modernism and post-modernism. pound is one of the poets i return to the most. i am completely facinated with his work and his life. since i have started an epic my returns have been that much more fequent. i am currently working on an essay approaching pound from the perspective i've had the hardest time dealing with: political. i am an anarchist. i have had a breakthru tho (while reading a book that approaches pound and eliot through their politics-- not condeming or excusing), and am trying to work my notes into some recognizable form. if anyone has any insights on the above i would -really- like to hear them. i am looking forward to the discussions. thank you for reading. jeff. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are no hierarchies, no infinite, no such many as mass, there are only eyes in all heads to be looked out of -charles olson, from "letter 6" (of the maximus poems)
