{"product_id":"ezra-pound-and-margaret-cravens","title":"Ezra Pound and Margaret Cravens","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eEzra Pound met Margaret Cravens in Paris in 1910 during one of his most creative and formative periods. Margaret Cravens, of Madison, Indiana, had come to Paris several years earlier to study piano and was drawn to the young Pound out of a shared interest in poetry and the arts. Their friendship began when she offered Pound generous financial support, which continued, unknown to anyone else, until June 1912, when she committed suicide in Paris, one year after her father's suicide in Indiana.\u003cbr\u003ePound was deeply affected by her death, as was the poet H. D., who had recently come to know her. Pound's letters to Cravens, extensively annotated, are published here for the first time; her suicide note to him is also included. \u003ci\u003eEzra Pound and Margaret Cravens\u003c\/i\u003e contains photographs and previously unpublished material by Pound and H.D., as well as an excerpt from H.D.'s autobiographical novel \u003ci\u003eAsphodel\u003c\/i\u003e, in which Cravens figures prominently. This portrait of a friendship provides insight into the literary achievements of Pound and H.D. and tells the unknown story of Margaret Cravens's tragic life.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Omar Pound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53616226042236,"sku":"9780822308621","price":103.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/missing-cover_207e4b27-8647-4a15-8da2-3858c54e3c46.jpg?v=1746711651","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/ezra-pound-and-margaret-cravens","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
