John Kasper was a militant far-right activist who first came to
prominence with his violent campaigns against desegregation in
the Civil Rights era. Ezra Pound was the seminal figure in
Anglo-American modernist literature and one of the most important
poets of the 20th century. This is the first book to
comprehensively explore the extensive correspondence - lasting
over a decade and numbering hundreds of letters - between the two
men.

John Kasper and Ezra Pound examines the mutual influence
the two men exerted on each other in Pound's later life: how John
Kasper developed from a devotee of Pound's poetry to an active
right-wing agitator; how Pound's own ideas about race and
American politics developed in his discussions with Kasper and
how this informed his later poetry. Shedding a disturbing new
light on Ezra Pound's committed engagement with extreme
right-wing politics in Civil Rights-era America, this is an
essential read for students of 20th-century literature.
