Ezra Pound recordings
July 6, 2009
The extraordinary PENNsound site has recently added an extraordinary trove of Ezra Pound recordings, along with an essay by Richard Sieburth, “The Sound of Pound: A Listerner’s Guide“. One of the most interesting aspects of Sieburth’s essay, to me, was his description of Pound’s encounter with the L’abbé Jean-Pierre Rousselot.
From this piece at Language Log, which has some interesting information about phonetic studies, their relevance to poetry, kymograph, and the school days of Pound. Take a look!
