      14. Kenner, along with his then mentor Marshall McLuhan, met Pound at St. Elizabeths in 1948. Academically, Kenner & McLuhan were allied with the New Critics, who used formalism in the service of conservative & often pro-traditional South politics

      15. Unlike the New Critics, though, Kenner didn't think a poet's social vision was irrelevant. However, he did believe that it could be separated from the particular politics the poet had. In other words, Pound's condemnation of usury doesn't have to be fascist.

      16. In an important 1967 essay, later reprinted & praised by William F. Buckley, Kenner argues that the politics of Pound & the other fascist modernists could be bracketed off from their politics.pic.twitter.com/JouHntdjSI

      17. Kenner: “With Hitler, Mussolini and General O’Duffy at last out of the way, with the magnetic fields their names commanded now for all time collapsed, one can see what were the real subjects of concern [for writers like Pound]" But is fascism really "out of the way"?

      18. Kenner was a brilliant critic & Pound's best advocate, but I think the new scholarship (by Alec Marsh & others) casts doubt on a central claim. Pound's fascism was not just a matter of defeated European movement but also a still living American one.

      19. In Italy today, there is a neofascist group called CasaPound. The members call themselves ragazzi di Ezra: Ezra’s boys (not related to Vox). None of this is dead & over.

      Does "ragazzi" mean "goys" or does it mean "ragamuffins"?

      I took it to means "boys" -- that's the way the scholar who wrote about them used it.

          It means boys (and I assume these ragazzi are also goys)

          It means boys and ragazze means girls. Straccione is literally ragamuffin. Monello is like ragamuffin, though it means rascal.
