Title
A. M. Klein and the 'Fibbiest Fabricator of Them All'
Abstract
The author examines the influence on and repudiation of American poet Ezra Pound by Montreal Jewish poet A.M. Klein (1909-1972). The extradition to America of Pound from Italy following the Second World War, where he had broadcast fascist propaganda against the Allies and anti-Semitic diatribes against Jews, and Pound's subsequent incarceration in a mental institution after being found unfit to stand trial for treason, was the subject of Klein's 1948 verse-form review, titled "Cantabile", of Pound's epic poem "Cantos."
