[New-Poetry] Frost on the edge

[David Graham]

Reminds me of something Williams Carlos Williams reported about his  
friendship with Pound.  One of their ongoing arguments concerned  
elitism versus populism, roughly.  You can guess who stood up for which.

After a while, WCW reported, they no longer needed to have their  
argument.  Pound would just say "caviar!", and Williams would reply,  
"bread!"
