Interesting that our man Adrian Davies, white, ipso facto disparages George Orwell as a “mediocre and predictable”. I would have thought that the patriotic socialism of the kind Orwell espoused would find support in the British New Right.
What a beautiful epitaphio for the WWI generation. What is the title of the Pound work Bowden recites about the death of youth for the “botched civilization”? I couldn’t understand the title because of the quality of the recording and or I couldn’t understand because it’s in Italian.
What a man Jonathan Bowden. Bowden’s intellect is like listening to a god amongst us.
The poem is “Hugh Seleyn Mauberley,” and it is reprinted on this site.
I just read this poem for the first time and then listed to Pound recite it.
Amazing.
I can’t stop listening to it. Pound’s delivery stirs in me a great deal of emotion. I read that most poetry is garbage because the poet uses the medium to emote, rather than evoke emotion in his audience.
The CC poets should consider a recorded reading.
