Hey, congratulations on that.
Then, there's the question of where it (Modernism) began even:
Benjamin, I think, would argue Paris & Baudelaire, at least as a
beginning....
I recall a review in the LRB a few years ago, of a book from Italy on
Pound, mentioning the stark refusal of so many Brits to admit what
Pound (& Eliot, etc) did. Then all the rather lesseer known poets
there, some of whom I've met, who do.
But here in Canada, for people like me, the Pound-WIlliams line, &
where it led, is what counts, & does so, at least in my case,
formally. They taught me how to write....
