This was enough to tell me where the guy's sympathies lay. Aide-de-camp to a talentless madman, anti-Semite, and fascist.
Yep. And one hell of a crappy poet, too.
You’re absolutely right: Ezra Pound was NOT a patriot. He supported America’s ENEMIES during WWII, and was later imprisoned for it. He served in Mussolini’s government as a propagandist against the Allied cause. The man who submitted this obituary needs to be horsewhipped.
During his entire adult life, Mullins associated with neo-nazi and racist organizations.
In October 1952 he wrote “Hitler: An Appreciation” for the National Renaissance Party Bulletin. In 1955, he wrote “Jews Mass Poison America’s Children” for the Chicago newsletter, Women’s Voice.
