POUND EZRA: (1885-1972) American expatriate poet and critic, a major figure in the early modernist poetry movement and a fascist collaborator in Italy during World War II. A.L.S., Ezra Pound, one page, 4to, n.p. (Washington DC), 19th December 1955, to Professor Silvano Caselli. Pound writes in his characteristically idiosyncratic manner, and in a mixture of languages, thanking his correspondent 'for the splendid regallo (sic)' seemingly apologising, and concluding 'if I haven't forgotten what little (? indecipherable word, possibly a book or letter) I possess'. Accompanied by the original envelope. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG Silvano Caselli (1921-1995) Italian painter.
