Ezra Pound and Sen Bronson Cutting : A Political Correspondence, 1930-1935 [first edition]

The 26 collected letters between Pound and Cutting reveal a dimension of the poet somewhat different from his World War II reputation as traitor and eccentric fascist. Written during the early 1930s, the letters between the writer and the New Mexican Republican Senator contain a lively debate around issues of censorship, prohibition, the Soviet Union, and even old age pensions. The commentary, notes, and historical background provided by the editors are clarifying additions to the primary text, supplying an important companion work to any serious study of Pound's writing.
