Ezra Pound Biography of Ezra Pound :

One of the most important and controversial poets of modernist poetry, Ezra Weston Loomis Pound was born on October 30, 1885. Hailey, Idaho, US. He was born to Homer Loomis Pound and Isabel Weston. His folks were descendants from England. He grew up in Pennsylvania.  He was sent to a series of Quaker schools and he learned how to shoot, drill like the military, and to kowtow in front of authority. He was unpopular because he was sharp and aware of himself and came across as arrogant. He always knew he wanted to be a poet.

 

At the age of 15, Pound enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania‘s College of Liberal Arts. However he shifted to Hamilton College, New York. He began to read Dante and created the formation of The Cantos during this time. He went back to the University of Pennsylvania to study Romance languages. Later he enrolled as a Ph.D student to work on a thesis on the jesters of Lope de Vega\'s plays. He was awarded a Harrison Fellowship and won a grant of $500 and left for Europe. He spent a while in Madrid until he was an eye witness to the assassination attempt of King Alfonso in 1906. He was scared that he might be considered as one of the anarchists; therefore he fled to Paris. However, he left his dissertation halfway at the Sorbonne.

 

Pound taught Romance languages at the Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana. It was a conservative town those days which he termed as the ‘sixth sense of hell’. He abandoned his job and returned to Europe. He reached Gibraltar and earned his living as a tourist guide to American tourists. During this time, he also wrote for the Harper’s Magazine and started to write fiction. He moved to Venice and self-published his 72-page A Lume Spento (With Tapers Spent). He managed to sell 100 copies for six cents each.  The London Evening Standard described it as ‘wild and haunting stuff, absolutely poetic, original, and imaginative’.

Pound moved to London and he became friends with WB Yeats who was 28 years his senior. He married Dorothy Shakespear. He hobnobbed with the artistic likes of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Wyndham Lewis, and others.  He wrote for Poetry, The New Freewoman, and The Egoist.  He also wrote for Wyndham Lewis’ BLAST.

 

However, after the First World War, Pound became disillusioned with the state of political affairs in England and international capitalism. He began to propagate the idea of Fascism as a means to reform and met Mussolini. He traveled to the States to interact with American political figures thinking that he could stop the Second World War. However his meetings were futile and they left him dejected.

 

The final nail in the coffin was when Pound was arrested in Italy for treason in 1945 after Mussolini was killed.  He finally suffered a mental breakdown and was shifted to the States. He was admitted to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. His wife Dorothy was declared his legal guardian.  He died on November 1, 1972 in Italy.  The Time magazine described him as, “a cat that walks by himself, tenaciously unhousebroken and very unsafe for children.”
