Pearson promoted Pound’s work apart from his political involvements, helping to prevent it from being “disappeared" due to Pound's very unpopular World War II politics and consequent incarceration at St. Elizabeths Hospital (a psychiatric hospital operated by the District of Columbia Department of Mental Health).
