Ezra Pound's Cathay
In a discussion from the Royal College of Music in London, Rana Mitter is joined by poets Jo Shapcott and Sean O'Brien to discuss Ezra Pound's collection of poems entitled Cathay.
In 1915 Ezra Pound published 'Cathay', a collection of poems translated from classical Chinese. For many the work was seen as one of the most important poetic responses to World War One. The poets Jo Shapcott and Sean O'Brien discuss what have been called poems of 'a supreme beauty' with Rana Mitter.
Recorded in front of an audience at the Royal College of Music.
