An episode from 9/23/24: Tonight, I read seven poems by the American poet, H. D. (Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961). Over the course of fifty years her work – which includes fiction, memoir and translation – provides an incredible example of how a writer can handle mythology, mysticism, sexuality and autobiography. The poems can be found in Collected Poems 1912-1944: Sea Iris (1916) The Helmsman (1916) Adonis (1913-1917) Lethe (1924) Wine Bowl (1931) Eros (Uncollected/Unpublished poems, 1912-1944) Tribute to the Angels #29 (1945) You can support Human Voices Wake Us here, or by ordering any of my books: Notes from the Grid, To the House of the Sun, The Lonely Young & the Lonely Old, and Bone Antler Stone. I've also edited a handful of books in the S4N Pocket Poems series. Email me at [email protected].
