Pound was born in Idaho but soon sought fame across the ocean. Living in London (where he significantly edited T.S. Eliot’s “Waste Land”), Paris and Rome, he became a regular fixture among the modernists and the so-called “Lost Generation”. During the Second World War, he was arrested in Italy by American troops for treason, and was not released until 1958.
