Ezra Pound
Interesting. I wonder what happened to him during his internment in the camp?
Do you suppose they did something to his brain so he was never able or inclined to write again? I know they shipped him back to US after his release from the camp and he was in a mental hospital (Maryland?)for most of remainder of his life. Sad. Such a talented writer/poet. An innovator. I especially like how he took the Haiku form and made it his own.

Idaho claims Pound as well since he was born in Hailey Idaho in 1885. I always thought the family left Idaho and went to Pennsylvania. I did not know the Missouri connection. sam
