A poem about poetry!

The alchemy of Ezra Pound’s poetry

Blurs the boundaries

Between fact, fiction, fun,

Philosophy, history and entertainment,

Bewildering patricians and plebeians alike.

And turns everything upside down,

Where tradition is the greatest revolution.

But as he knows by now —

It is not easy to escape,

Not easy to change or create,

Not easy to keep the peace,

Keep things tight,

And keeping it together.
