John Taber: FlashPoint, on the Web Del Sol site, is especially devoted to poetry in the Pound-Olson tradition (cf. the work of editors Joe Brennan and Carlo Parcelli, in both issues #1 and #2). It is also broadly devoted to the Modernist tradition in general. Although no single piece to date has addressed Pound himself, there are essays on David Jones (current issue #2), as well as Ian Hamilton Finlay and Teodor Adorno (issue #1, accessible from the issue #2 title page). Beyond that, Web Del Sol is, in my opinion, an excellent site-of-sites, with poetry, fiction, and essays from many print magazines (like The Literary Review, Conjunctions, Zyzzyva), going back 2-3 years. I don't know who wrote to you -- not someone from Customer Relations, I'm sure! -- but please don't judge the whole barrell by one wizened apple. (I'm one of the editors of FlashPoint, so, yes, I have a vested interest; but I've browsed a great deal of Web Del Sol, and it lives up to my hype.)

I did check out the site. It uses black letters on red background for part of its page, which is hard to read. The text is small italics also hard to read. I complained and got a snotty answer in effect telling me to get lost. But don't believe me. Try the site yourself. 1. Can you read it? 2. Is there anything of interest to an EP fan or scholar? Let me know.
