Calling all Poundians! The Pound Society is eligible to present two panels at the American Literature Association convention in San Diego, May 28-31, 1998 (that's Thursday through Sunday). One of our panels this year will be devoted to "Teaching Modernist Poetry," organized by Jewel Spears Brooker. But at this point we have only the one panel. I am, very belatedly, trying to put together a second panel, and at this point I have two open slots for papers. Is anyone out there interested? The topic at this point is open--that is, I would be happy to consider any Pound-related presentation. But we have to make this happen fast--the program deadline is January 30. So please e-mail me immediately if you are interested. The ALA is a very loosely organized group that meets in pleasant settings--in this case a beach-front hotel in San Diego. Some of us have been working for several years at building a Modernist presence at the conference, and this year as in previous years there will be, I think, panels organized by the Williams, H.D., Eliot, Stevens, Cummings, etc., societies, along with the Pound Society panel(s). I esecially invite people on the west coast to think about submitting proposals. Burt Hatlen
