"---at the 23td Ezra Pound International Conference in Rome in 2009"--Preface

Description and Table of Contents
Description
Ezra Pound's international reputation has been growing rather than diminishing since his death in 1972, and this selection of essays is further proof of why the most avant of avant-garde twentieth-century writers remains, in the twenty-first century, a poet widely read and admired throughout the world.
In Rome in 2009 scholars from many countries gathered to explore the meaning of the ingenious palindrome that Pound used to link Rome with love:
R O M A
O M
M O
A M O R
The approaches taken by these essays vary widely, but their common subject is Rome, the capital of Pound's adopted country, the stage of his personal tragedy, and a major source of his poetic inspiration. For Pound, Rome and love equalled poetry, and these essays show how much meaning there was in that vital connection.
