H.D. : Woman and Poet
“[I]ndispensable for any serious reader of H.D.’s work.”
鈥擫inda Wagner-Martin, American Book Review
“Michael King has produced a delectable H.D.: Woman and Poet.”
鈥擬artha Nell Smith, Lesbian and Gay Studies Newsletter
“An indispensable resource, the book is worth the purchase price for the bibliography alone.”
鈥揜ochelle Ratner, Belles Lettres
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 filmmaker. With H.D.: Woman and Poet we are given the opportunity of re-placing 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.
