@DougHenwood @robmickey WFB sent me a nice note about an obit I wrote about his friend Hugh Kenner, invited me to drinks when in NY.
@DougHenwood @MUGGER1955 @robmickey Sure, but in Pound Era it sounds like Cantos have a coherent vision, a modern Divine Comedy. Not so.

@HeerJeet@MUGGER1955@robmickey never read Kenner's book - I don't recall a coherent vision in the cantos though -
@DougHenwood@MUGGER1955@robmickey That's one of arguments of Kenner's Pound Era. Kenner found a coherence that eludes most of us, I think. - Show replies
