Pound's Translation Of Chinese Poetry Was Maybe

I Did Not Have A Very Literary Background. I Came To Poetry From The Sciences And Mathematics, And Also Through An Interest In Japanese And Chinese Poetry In Translation.

Neither Of My Parents Has Been Very Sensitive About My Writing.

The Language Poets Are Writing Only About Language Itself. The Ashbery Poets Are Writing Only About Poetry Itself. That Seems To Me A Kind Of Dead End.

I Think That It's More Likely That In My 60s And 70s I Will Be Writing Poetry Rather Than Fiction.

In The Late 60s And Early 70s, I Did Get Interested In Voices, And In Narration And Embodying The Voice, Making The Poem Sound Like A Real Person Talking.
