THE NATIONAL POETRY FOUNDATION

H.D.: WOMAN AND POET

Michael King, Editor


Far from being merely an Imagist miniaturist, as her former reputation held, H.D. was truly a "woman of letters": poet, novelist, memoirist, critic, essayist, even actress and film-maker. With H.D.: Woman and Poet we are given the opportunity of replacing her in the pantheon of 20th-Century literature. In recent years, new readers have discovered the excitement and vigor of her various manifestations; this volume brings together the multiple facets of her long dedication to her art.
