Sunday Play: Pound on Mr Greenhill

on BBC Radio 3

By David Pownall.
In the last years of his life, one of the largest literary figures of the 20th century, Ezra Pound , fell silent. The man who had been branded a traitor and judged insane by American authorities abandoned poetry and chose instead to communicate with that other prodigious talent, Claudio Monteverdi.
Director Eoin O'Callaghan
