Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound’s work as a translator stretched from Confucius and Li Po to the troubadour poets to Paul Morand and Enrico Pea. His interest in “regionalism” most likely attracted him to the work of Pea. Mary de Rachewiltz is the daughter of Ezra Pound and violinist Olga Rudge. She translated Pound’s Cantos into Italian.
