XXX CANTOS


Wooden type at the Olde Yakima Letterpress Museum.

"She is submarine, she is an octopus, she is / A biological process"

—from "Canto XXIX" by Ezra Pound

(I'm intrigued by these lines, but even more so by the line break.)

I've now completed the first 30 of the 120 Cantos of Ezra Pound.

With A Draft of XXX Cantos (1930) completed, I move on to Eleven New Cantos XXXI–XLI (1934).
