This project is a biography of Mary de Rachewiltz, poet, translator and the only daughter of the American poet, Ezra Pound. It explores the intricacies of Pound’s family relationships and the effects of international geopolitics on the lives of those surrounding them, especially leading up to and following his indictment for treason in 1943.
