Marginalia in a Harvard University copy of Ezra Pound's cantos

By Jack Brummet, Poetry Editor

Ezra Pound, who made all the famous cuts and marginal comments in T.S. Eliot's Waste Land, gets the sama marginalia treatment from the undergrad and grad students at Harvard.  This is a shot of one of the circulating copies of the book in their library.  This is really appropos of nothing at all; I just love marginalia, corrected proofs and manuscripts, and in general, the now soon to be lost analog methods of interacting with text.
