Don't Wanna Mess With This

One of my favorite imagist poets is Ezra Pound. Yes, I know that he has a shady past, especially when the early 1940s rolled around. I'm still a fan of his poetry not that man. Does that make sense? Anyway, I just saw a picture of him on my iGoogle page that made him look p.i.m.p. Here it is:

He's even got that crazy look in his eye. Even though he had some troubled times, it's worth reading his poetry. What writer, especially poet, doesn't have a shady troubled life?
