American modernist writer and critic (1885–1972) whose works, particularly his poetry, occupy a central place in 20th-century letters. TLS signed “EP,” one page, 8 x 9.75, no date but postmarked February 23, 1957. Letter to Maria, in full: “Thanks for bringing the enclosed. Hope T.W.’s play was uprorious [sic] success and that the actors didn’t unduly lacerate his sensibilities. I enclose, as usual bits of news and/or sale-talk as you choose to regard’em.” Double-matted and framed with a portrait of Pound to an overall size of 20 x 16.75. In fine condition, with scattered creases and intersecting folds. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. The playwright whom Pound mentions is presumably Tennessee Williams, whose “uprorious success” may very well have been Orpheus Descending, Williams’s follow-up to his Pulitzer Prize-winning Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
