Ezra Pound

Ezra Pound (1885–1972) was an expatriate American poet and critic who was a major figure of the early modernist movement. His contribution to poetry began with his development of Imagism, a movement derived from classical Chinese and Japanese poetry, stressing clarity, precision and economy of language. His best-known works include Ripostes (1912), Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920) and the unfinished 120-section epic, The Cantos (1917–69). (Full article...)

Nominated by EamonnPKeane for the "100th anniversary of first publishing of Blast". Blurb needs work but that can be done. I'll leave messages for the three FAC co-noms. Bencherlite ^Talk 16:27, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Victoria is on a wikibreak but has indicated that she would like to wait until she is back here before a TFA nom, to prepare the blurb, deal with any talk queries on the day, and that. Thank you Bencherlite for the notification, and EamonnPKeane for spotting the upcoming anniversary of BLAST. Ceoil (talk) 21:06, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Victoria suggested that perhaps the 100th anniversary of the publication of Cathay (poetry collection) would be a good date, which would be 6 April 2015. But also thank you to Eammon for spotting BLAST. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 21:19, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Closing as not scheduled, but (for the avoidance of doubt) without prejudice to renominating at a later date - no support for running at this time to mark a minor anniversary particularly in the unavoidable absence of one of the primary editors. Bencherlite ^Talk 23:48, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
