Carol is also busily working on Treason’s Child: Mary de Rachewiltz and the Real Estate of Ezra Pound The book will be the second volume of a projected trilogy. (The first was the disputed 2003 Lucia Joyce: To Dance in the Wake about James Joyce’s daughter; the third will consider Anna Freud.)
He is connected by marriage to Ezra Pound, having married in 1946 Pound's daughter Mary with Olga Rudge. Pound retreated to a property at Brunnenburg in the Italian Tyrol, in the de Rachewiltz family from 1927, and owned by Boris and Mary, after his 1958 release from hospital.

The University of New Orleans is pleased to offer the rare opportunity to study poetry writing and the works of Ezra Pound, one of the 20th Century's most influential, innovative and controversial poets.

Grace Davis Our Heart's Gordian Knot The Writing of Mary de Rachewiltz One of the greatest legacies of Ezra Pound is often overlooked in praise of The Cantos and all of the help Pound gave to other writers. His daughter, Mary de Rachewiltz, giving most of her life to the tireless effort to bring Pound the recognition he deserves, is also a fine poet in her own right. Early in her life, Mary took on the persona of Pound's advocate and torch bearer. The elegant pithiness of her language in her memoir, Ezra Pound, Father and Teacher: Discretions, and in her poems often depicts her in that role. As she has used her own work to further the work of Pound-work that she calls a blessing -her poetry, her prose, her life have become so inextricably intertwined with The Cantos and with Pound's place as one of the most important American poets that her efforts and those of her father form a Gordian knot, impossible to untie.
