D., Imagiste" to a group of six poems and sending them on to editor Harriet Monroe in Chicago. The Collected Poems 1912-1944 traces the continual expansion of H. D.'s work from her early imagistic mode to the prophetic style of her "hidden" years in the 1930s, climaxing in the broader, mature accomplishment of Trilogy. The book is edited by Professor Louis L. Martz of Yale, who supplies valuable textual notes and an introductory essay that relates the significance of H. D.'s life to her equally remarkable literary achievement.

HD is a late discovery for me. Love her imagery. Also recommend Helen in Egypt also by HD. A wonderful supplement to Homer's Illiad.

Collected poems by HD is an excellent book of petry. No matter how much you think you know poetry, this one author and many more who have much to say, are never included in the high school anthologies. If you're serious about poetry, this is an author to follow up on. Her poetry , as well as her life, are extraordinary

H. D. (Hilda Doolittle) was a key poet in the modernist poetic revolution of the early twentieth century, and though she continued to produce excellent work throughout her life, she is still best remembered for the early lyrics which introduced a unique style and consciousness into modern poetry. Her work is severely elegant, and clearly attempts to re-create the austere, vivid effect of ancient Greek lyric, but in an unaffected, natural modern diction. She's sometimes criticized for having a limited technical and emotional range, and for not developing much during the course of her career, but be that as it may, at her best she created poems which you can read once and remember almost verbatim for the rest of your life. Every reader of poetry should have her works. There are also several Selected Works editions available, but all I have seen are lacking some of her best and most characteristic pieces, so since this Collected Works is only a few dollars more than the Selected ones, I'd recommend just getting this one. If you don't know about H.D., use the amazon.com Search in This Book feature to look at poems like The Helmsman (p. 5), Helen (p. 154), Lais (p. 149), Holy Satyr (p. 118), or The Islands (p. 124,) (you may have to hunt around to find them -- for some reason searching on the poem name doesn't always work.) If you like those, you will certainly like the rest of her work.

The only way to improve upon this volume would be to include "Helen in Egypt" in the next edition. Then it would be truly complete, and truly perfect, fit to sail unto the unfix-ed Stars!
