William Auld (6 November 1924 – 11 September 2006) was a Scottish poet, author, translator and magazine editor who wrote chiefly in Esperanto. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1999, 2004, and 2006. His magnum opus, "La infana raso" ("The Infant Race"), is a long poem that, in Auld's words, explores "the role of the human race in time and in the cosmos," and is based heavily on The Cantos by Ezra Pound. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/William+Auld">Read more on Last.fm</a>
