Father and Teacher – Discretions

Father and Teacher In this moving and insightful memoir, set against a backdrop of Fascist Italy and the Tyrolean Alps, Pound's daughter Mary de Rachewiltz reveals a side of the poet which is seldom touched upon, that of the devoted father. A scholar and poet in her own right, who has translated Pound's Cantos into Italian, de Rachewiltz offers a window not only into Pound's life, but also through his biography into his works.
