Description
This chapter appears in the book, Approaches to Teaching H.D.’s Poetry and Prose. Edited by Annette Debo and Lara Vetter.
Chapter abstract: Here I posit that H.D., now recognized as a significant and innovative poet, might be placed right in the conceptual center of a course on modern poetry, enmeshed in a web of modernist practice and concerns that includes the foundational revisions of imagism; vision, prophecy, and the occult; the shift from lyric to epic form; engagement with old and new mythologies; linguistic and formal experimentation; a rejection of the hegemonic; interrogation of gender and sexuality; and the trauma of war. This chapter examines H.D. in relation to a variety of other poets, including Pound, Williams, Stein, Moore, Owen, and Hughes.
