Description

Ezra Pound was born in 1885 in Hailey, Idaho. He came to Europe in 1908 and settled in London, where he became a central figure in the literary and artistic world, befriended by Yeats and a supporter of Eliot and Joyce, among others.

In 1920 he moved to Paris, and later to Rapallo in Italy.

During the Second World War he made a series of propagandist broadcasts over Radio Rome, for which he was later tried in the United States and subsequently committed to a hospital for the insane.

After thirteen years, he was released and returned to Italy; dying in Venice in 1972.
