A bit over a hundred years ago, Ezra Pound corralled a group known as the Imagists that would have a profound effect on poetry as we know it. A controversial figure, Pound explored and enlivened the economy of language and rich images that became founding principles of the group, along with H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Richard Aldington, William Carlos Williams, Amy Lowell, and F.S. Flint.

What constitutes fair use when it comes to poetry? Is the Cento form illegal? While this is obviously not legal advice, as no one should seek that from any podcast, let alone one primarily related to poetry, exploring fair use turned out to be as fun as reading a good poem! We covered many questions from listeners that were posed to us over social media.

Note: While we initially set out to cover both copyright and fair use in this episode, we realized it would be better split into half-sandwiches for easier consumption.

While this is obviously not legal advice, as no one should seek that from any podcast, let alone one primarily related to poetry, we had a lot of “fun” exploring this topic. Just ask Sheryl Crow (who has no idea this podcast exists)! We covered many questions from listeners that were posed to us over social media.
