[New-Poetry] Il Miglior Fabbro

[Anny Ballardini]

I never met Dickinson in Pound's work, and like Finnegan, I would be interested in knowing where and how.

  Had the early Moderns absorbed much Dickinson? And the form
  they got in her in was normalized from the form in which we know her work.
  What did Pound know or think of Dickinson's poetry? I have the impression
  her poetry was known as a kind of a curiosity or novelty at first...not so
  influential on other poets at the outset.

  This is one of those Irreconcilable Differences ...

  Dickinson is Dostoevsky to Whitman's Tolstoy.

  To (to be crude) for some of us, Whitman and Tolstoy both, are rather large lumps of soggy blamange pudding, the Higher Gossip with precious little craft for added value.

          (As an American not unrelated to William James suggested.)

    Hard to think of any yardstick by which Whitman is not the father of American poetry--in terms of scope, craft, theme, diction, ambition, influence on later poets, 

            Longfellow, anyone?
