Reading for September 24



Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound didn’t make the cut for the Norton, so you’ll need to read their texts on the absolutely brilliant Poetry Foundation website. Take time to surf around their pages and links. Keep learning. You might also want to check out the Poetry Foundation resources for Yeats and Eliot.

Gertrude Stein: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/gertrude-stein Read the introductory headnote and the three poems on the top of the right-hand column: “A Carafe, that is a Blind Glass,” “Christian Berard,” and “Hotel Francois Ier.” You are free to listen to the podcasts or read the scholarly articles about Stein (and Pound) on this page.

Ezra Pound:  https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/ezra-pound  Read the introductory headnote (longish), and the poems in “Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (parts 1 and 2). Click on the link in the right-hand column that reads “See all poems by Ezra Pound” and scroll down until you see “Hugh Selwyn Mauberley.” Don’t forget to read both parts.
