19586139071958. Unbound. Very Good. A small collection of correspondence between Yale professor and Ezra Pound scholar Donald Gallup and writer editor and friend of Pound Joseph Bard including an excerpt of a talk Bard gave involving personal anecdotes of Pound.<br /> <br /> At the center of the collection is a mimeographed excerpt of an address given by Bard at the Institute of Hispanic Studies in Puerto de la Cruz Tenerife on the 28th of February 1957 titled "The Dynamism of a New Poetry"; the excerpt includes the "central section containing reminiscences of Pound from total of 15 numb. leaves" Gallup's typed note. The excerpt contains pages five to nine five leaves each printed on the recto with about a paragraph of text on the versos with the addition of a cover sheet and a page of typed notes only partially related to the address some of the notes here appear in Gallop's bibliography on Pound. This was sent along with a short typed letter dated October 3 1958 "Dear Mr. Gallup at the request of Mr. Charles Hamilton I am sending you a copy of my lecture in Spain on 'New Poetry.' It was discussed on Madrid Radio and . Ezra said in a letter which you probably possess that it was the best introduction to m.p. yet. Sorry about this torn copy but it is the only one I have." The letter is signed by Bard and in his hand is written "N.B. Hurrah! I have found a clean copy!" though this copy is not present here.<br /> <br /> The excerpt speaks of Bard's time spent with Pound and their correspondence. Bard writes "I had an introduction to him from a literary friend but this was never used because on seeing me on the sea-shore he greeted me at once as a long-lost brother.†He goes on to describe how Pound wore a black corduroy suit gifted to him by W.B. Yeats. He briefly describes walks he Pound and Yeats would take in Rapallo and describes Pound's bluntness and passion for intellect "But above all things he Pound was interested in living and dedicated minds and had but contempt for the average commercial man and said with Machiavelli: li uomini vivono in pochi gli altri son pecorelli" which roughly translates to "A few men live the rest are sheep."<br /> <br /> Bard goes on to discuss his correspondence with Pound which began in 1927 shortly after Bard's marriage fell apart Bard describes his mood as "greatly perturbed" and that Pound's advice at the time was simply "Joseph practice polygamy." In another letter Pound writes "‘Oh if only you had translated Frobenius when it was offered to you in 1932 you would have saved the lives of two million human beings†this refers to the work of ethnologist Leo Frobenius who Pound would eventually meet and become "great friends" with. The most colorful anecdote in the talk does not involve Pound but rather someone Pound introduced Bard to the writer Natalie Barney:<br /> <br /> "Such was the introduction to Natalie Barney's salon in the Rue Jacob Paris this Lady being the well-known 'Amazon' the friend of Remy de Gourment's a salon where our Junoesque hostess ruled supreme over the lions and lionesses of art letters and drama—and where we were ceremoniously taken to the 'Temple d’Amour' and where the very sacharin sic was taken out from a book-shaped little etui by chubby Salomon Reinach" Reinach was an influential French archaeologist and religious historian. It's likely that Bard made a mistake here though and was actually referring to Barney's "Temple d’Amitie" which translates to "Temple of Friendship."<br /> <br /> The address continues to quote Bard's correspondence with Pound before getting into Pound's actual work at which point the excerpt cuts off. Included is a copy of Gallup's reply to Bard dated October 14 1958 expressing his delight at receiving a copy and commenting on Pound's recent hospital release "What a relief it is to have Pound out of St. Elizabeth's and at Brunnenburg! The change will of course have a tremendous influence on his work." Also included is a Spanish newspaper clipping discussing Bard's talk and a second letter from Bard dated October 27 1958 asking Gallup if he "could put me in touch with somebody in the U.S.A. who would be interested in the broadcasting of short-stories already produced by the B.B.C. Third." Enclosed is a clipping from Radio Times with the title "A Boyhood by the Danube" discussing the broadcast presentation of Bard's story "The Tale of a Child" which tells of Bard's childhood growing up in Hungary.<br /> <br /> Altogether the collection consists of two short typed letters a one page letter 5¼" x 6¾" and a two-page letter on a single leaf 5¼" x 7" when folded from Joseph Bard both Signed both include newspaper clippings; the mimeographed excerpt 8½" x 11"; a short one-page typed letter from Donald Gallup 5½" x 8½"; two envelopes addressed to Gallup and a typed receipt of the lecture "Gift of Dr. Joseph Bard . for the Ezra Pound Collection in the Y.C.A.L."<br /> <br /> OCLC locates two holdings of this talk under its Spanish title "El Dinamismo de Una Nueva Poesia" at Yale and UT-Austin but they date the conference as being held on March 8 1957. The publication of this talk is listed at B59 in Donald Gallup's bibliography of Pound which states "Published March 1957; number of copies unknown." The entry goes onto describe a reproduction of a letter from Pound to Bard dated December 17 1932 that apparently goes with the published talk; part of that entry is found in the additional page of notes included here in the mimeographed excerpt.<br /> <br /> All of the material has some toning and light wear a paperclip mark and tearing at the top of the mimeograph excerpt overall very good; though it should be noted that towards the bottom of each page is an additional layer of text printed in blue ink upside down and mirrored reproducing a portion of the text found elsewhere on the page.<br /> <br /> An interesting bit of writing concerning Ezra Pound along with the brief correspondence of two men of letters both connected to Pound in different ways. unknown

"A narrative in which is described many things relating to the early Southwest with an account of the fight between Indians and buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls and the desperate engagement at Buffalo Wallow for which Congress voted the Medal of Honor to the survivors." Born in West Virginia in 1850 Billy Dixon lived in Missouri from 1862 until 1865 when he took a job with a freight contractor as a bull-whacker and mule-skinner in Kansas. He freighted throughout western Kansas and Nebraska and eastern Colorado for 4 years. In 1869 Dixon joined a hunting and trapping venture in the Saline River Valley northwest of Fort Hays. Billy's excellent marksmanship soon led him to the highly profitable trade in buffalo hides. He invested in a supply store and did quite well until his partner "sold out" and took off with the proceeds during Billy's absence. He hunted the Texas Panhandle in the early and mid 1870's. Billy Dixon was one of 28 men and 1 woman who fought off a large party of hostile Indians in the second Battle of Adobe Walls. He scouted for Gen. Nelson Miles in 1874 when carrying dispatches to Fort Supply Dixon and 5 others were attacked by Indians. Billy Dixon received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his part in the action. Still scouting for General Miles Dixon was present at the rescue of the Germaine sisters from the Cheyenne in November 1874. Dixon saved the Nolan Expedition in 1877 by leading them to water while in pursuit of hostile Comanches on the Staked Plains. Dixon returned to civilian life in 1883. He worked on the Turkey Trot Ranch before homesteading at the site of the original Adobe Walls. Eventually he homesteaded again in Cimarron County Oklahoma where he died in 1913. An excellent biography. An exceptionally clean fine bright copy with only the slightest of rubbing to spine ends and corners. Rare especially in this condition. Protected in a custom clamshell box with title author and year of publication in gilt on leather label on spine. Co-Operative Publishing Co., 1914. hardcover
