This unique bilingual anthology of poetry gathers the work of well-known and new contemporary poets from Italy, England, the U.S., New Zealand, the Czech Republic, and elsewhere, all paying tribute to the legacy of Ezra Pound and Olga Rudge. Inspired by a momentous cross-cultural poetry reading by most of these poets on July 2, 2009, at the Sala Capizucchi in the epicenter of Rome–the same theatre where Olga Rudge had performed with the composer George Antheil in February 1927–this collection bears testimony not only to the rich variety of new verse coming from both sides of the Atlantic, but to the wide sweep of Pound’s influence into the twenty-first century.
