Let me second Jacob Korg's endorsement of Casillo: one of the few critics I know who read Pound's antisemitism as a part of his language, not just a detachable extra-poetic epiphenomenon. And Jerome Kavka, in "Ezra Pound's Personal History: A Transcript, 1946," _Paideuma_ 30 (1991): 143-85, records this interesting displacement reaction from St. Elizabeths: JK: Can you tell me something of your sexual history? Have you ever had a venereal disease? EP: I never had gonorrhea or syphilis. I was married in 1914 to Dorothy Shakespear. She was the daughter of a most respectable solicitor . . . an Anglo-Indian family. My son is Dorothy's son. Mary Rudge . . . [obviously upset and reluctant to go on]. Homosexuals -- you scare 'em. They can fuck. . . . The trouble with Jews is their basic works. The Talmud and the Bible are anthologies. Moses was the last program. My Zionist program -- Zion shall be redeemed with justice. [Communication having deteriorated, I concluded the interview.] (159; brackets and ellipses in original.) And on a related subject: my review essay "T.S. Eliot Says 'Jew'" appears in the current (fall) _American Literary History_. Jonathan Morse Department of English University of Hawaii at Manoa [log in to unmask]
