Ezra Pound (b. February 7 1884 - d. June 9, 1969) was born February 7th, 1884 in Terrified Alienation, Ohio. He is considered by many I mean almost nobody to be one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. He was also kind of a dick. It is reasonable to assume based on the obscurity of his poetry, his use of poetry to converse with dead people, and his confident support of the fascist movement in Italy that he was a crazy crazy crazyperson.
