About
American-born modernist poet whose most famous works include The Cantos, Ripostes, and Hugh Selwyn Mauberley. He became an expatriate during World War II and was ultimately arrested by the U.S. government for treason after he aided the Axis Powers in Italy. His blame of finance capitalism for World War 1 led him ultimately to side with fascist ideals. 
Family
He was born in Idaho and grew up as the only child of Isabel Weston and Homer Loomis Pound. He married Dorothy Shakespear in April of 1914. The couple had a son named Omar, and Pound also fathered a daughter, Mary, through an extramarital affair with Olga Rudge.
