Pound appeared in the 5 February 2010 edition of The Times Literary Supplement, with the following explanation: The
above drawing of Ezra Pound by Henri Gaudier Breszka [sic] appears in the Bow-Wow Shop, the online international
poetry forum and, according to the editor, Michael Glover, has never been
published before. The owner lives in London and estimates that the drawing was
made in 1914, shortly before Gaudiers death, possibly as one of the
preparatory sketches for the famous white-marble hieratic head of the poet.
It shows Pound at an uncharacteristic angle to his own character, Mr. Glover
writes, revealing an unusual softness.
Only a few preparatory drawings are thought to have survived. The Bow-Wow Shop contains a grand amount of
stuff, including poetry, stories and reviews.
