Dear
Anne-Mjiriam
The infuence of Pound in Latinoamerican poets
in the 60 a 70 was
remarcable.There are a dossier in Diario de Poesma N:3
about the influence
in Argentina.There Jorge Fondebrider says,sorry for the
spanish:"Las ideas de Pound pueden
seguirse en la obra de Ernesto
Cardenal,Alberto Girri,Juan Gelman y Alberto
Laiseca por citar solo algunos
casos,para citar solo algunos
nombres
representativos.
Cardenal,posiblemente ha sido el mayor difusor e
Pound en America Latina..."
One of the best poets of Argentina Juan
Gelman says:
Yo creo que hay bastantes equivocos con la historia de Pound.Por
supuesto
que hay cosas que son ciertas:el trabajo para la propaganda fascista
en los
años treinta en Italia.Y yo creo desde el punto de vista
politico, el estaba
totalmente equivocado.Pero tambien creo que a el lo que
lo movia,desde el
punto de vista de la cosmovision,era una cuestion
anticapitalista
profunda.Es autor a mi juicio del mejor poema anticapitalista
que se ha
escrito "Usura". "El Portenio n:57 1986.Buenos
Aires.
In the Brazil there are Haroldo Campos and the "Noigandres"
group .There
are a good material in "Diario de Poesia" N: 42 Buenos
Aires 1997.
[log in to unmask] is
who do the subscription.
But that I know more is about the
recognition and influence in Uruguayan
poets
like Salvador Puig, Roberto
Apprato or Washington Benavides, the last wrote
in a book
named
"Hokusai" with two poems that are a tribute to
Pound.
