Biography/History:

Carl W. Gatter lived for many years in the childhood home of Ezra Pound at 166 Fernbrook Avenue, Wyncote, Pennsylvania. As a result, Gatter began collecting information about and interviewing people who knew Pound when he lived in and around Philadelphia. With his mother Gatter also established a correspondence with Pound between the years 1956 and 1966.

Summary:

This collection contains very little original Pound material, although there are six folders of photocopied correspondence from him to various correspondents, primarily from the period when Pound was institutionalized at St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Correspondents include Pound's wife Dorothy and an early girlfriend Mary Moore. There are 22 folders of correspondence to Gatter relating to the early life of Ezra Pound. The balance of the collection comprises Gatter's research material on the life of Ezra Pound, including some printed material and photographs.
