Abstract
This chapter considers Allen Fisher's poetics of 'facture'(specifically in connection to his poem 'Atkins Stomp') and Pound's political poetry. It argues that Pound, in Fisher's poem, acts as both model and antagonist, forming a frame of reference through which Fisher creates his own anti-Thatcherite writing. At the same time, the chapter points out, Fisher critiques and undercuts Pound's essentialism, thus allowing 'Atkins Stomp' to attack free-market capitalism and Pound's fascism at the same time.
