A funny thing happened on the way to Wallace Stevens' later poetry

[TranquillityBase]

Pound is dry. Explain to me why is not dry.

Pound is a godsend for scholars, so if that’s what you mean by dry, Yes, he’s dry.  

But I think we need scholars, since we no longer have alchemists.  And being a bastard scholar myself, I love having to look stuff up, so my next project will be Charles Olson.
