Rare poetry recordings of Ezra Pound are now available for download on PennSound, the University-wide archive of Mp3 poetry sound files.
Files from Pound - an acclaimed poet - include previously unknown recordings that were made between 1962 and 1972.
On the site, his work is complemented by a detailed essay by Richard Sieburth, an acclaimed translator and author.
The site also offers Pound's 1942 reading of "Canto XLVI," broadcast on Italian radio; his reading at Spoleto in 1967; his reading of his "Confucian Odes" in Spoleto in 1970; and a private recording of three cantos from the early 1970s.
