Researcher Katrina Makkouk will investigate modernist poet Ezra Pound’s Pisan Cantos, written in incarceration right after WW2, in the context of the occult inspiration from his early mentor, W.B. Yeats, and the uses of practices of magic. Carl Abrahamsson explores the symbiotic friendship between Pound and James Laughlin, highlighting how the author’s fame and influence intertwined with the publisher’s dedication to championing radical modernist literature and poetry, and illuminates the profound impact these two figures had on each other and the literary landscape of their time.
