That's very interesting Ken. I'd recommend tracking down the wonderful
collection of essays by Guy Davenport, The Geography of the Imagination, &
read his essays on Pound, some personal & very moving. I'm intrigued that
your poem uses the mountain image, but seemingly without knowing Basil
Bunting's poems on the Cantos, where he compares them with the Alps!
Telling us that we can try to go around them but we can't pretend they
aren't there.
