Hilda Doolittle - Wind Sleepers & Other Verse Public Domain Poets #18 Publicdomainpoets.com Containing a generous selection of Hilda Doolittle's poems from 'Sea Garden' (1916), 'Hymen' (1921), 'Heliodora' (1924), and the various Imagist anthologies (1914-1917); with illustrations by Helen Saunders & Dorothy Shakespear. New edition designed and edited by Dick Whyte. Whirl up, sea- Whirl your pointed pines, Splash your great pines On our rocks, Hurl your green over us, Cover us with your pools of fir. H.D. [Hilda Doolittle] (1886-1961) was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and her family moved to Upper Darby when she was a child, She became friends with Ezra Pound as a teenager, began writing poetry, and briefly attended Bryn Mawr College, where she first explored her bisexuality, and met fellow poets Marianne Moore and William Carlos Williams. Pound moved to London in 1908, followed by Doolittle in 1911, and they became close with the poet, Richard Aldington. Are you alive? I touch you. You quiver like a sea-fish. I cover you with my net. What are you-banded one? Together they began writing 'free verse' at a time when English-language poetry was almost exclusively metered and rhymed, calling their work 'Imagiste' (after the 'School of Images', active 1908-1909). Though Doolittle's first poems were published due to Pound's influence, his dictatorial approach to poetics led to a split in the group, with Amy Lowell leading the 'new' lmagists, now including Doolittle, Aldington, John Gould Fletcher, D.H. Lawrence, and F.S. Flint (a founding member of the earlier Imagist group). They would go on to oversee the publication of 3 Imagist anthologies between 1915-1917, highly influential on the post-1913 'new verse' and 'free verse' movements which blossomed in their wake. You crash over the trees, you crack like the live branch: the branch is white, the green crushed, each leaf is rent like split wood.

""Tribute to Freud: With Unpublished Letters by Freud"" is a book written by Hilda Doolittle, an American poet, novelist and memoirist. The book is a tribute to Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, and explores his life and work. It includes a collection of unpublished letters written by Freud, which provide insight into his personal life and relationships. The book also discusses the impact of Freud's theories on modern psychology and society. Doolittle's writing is both informative and personal, as she reflects on her own experiences with psychoanalysis and her admiration for Freud's contributions to the field. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of psychology and the life and work of Sigmund Freud.This is a new release of the original 1956 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Hymen is a classic American poem by the great American poet, Hilda Doolittle. As from a temple service, tall and dignified, with slow pace, each a queen, the sixteen matrons from the temple of Hera pass before the curtain--a dark purple hung between Ionic columns--of the porch or open hall of a palace. Their hair is bound as the marble hair of the temple Hera. Each wears a crown or diadem of gold.

The world is yet unspoiled for you, you wait, expectant-- you are like the children who haunt your own steps for chance bits--a comb that may have slipped, a gold tassle, unravelled.

The fabulous beauty of Helen of Troy is legendary. But some say that Helen was never in Troy, that she had been conveyed by Zeus to Egypt, and that Greeks and Trojans alike fought for an illusion. A fifty-line fragment by the poet Stesichorus of Sicily (c. 640-555 B.C.), what survives of his Pallinode, tells us almost all we know of this other Helen, and from it H. D. wove her book-length poem. Yet Helen in Egypt is not a simple retelling of the Egyptian legend but a recreation of the many myths surrounding Helen, Paris, Achilles, Theseus, and other figures of Greek tradition, fused with the mysteries of Egyptian hermeticism.

"My bat-like thought-wings would beat painfully in that sudden searchlight," H.D. writes in Tribute to Freud, her moving memoir. Compelled by historical as well as personal crises, H.D. underwent therapy with Freud during 1933-34, as the streets of Vienna were littered with tokens dropped like confetti on the city stating "Hitler gives work," "Hitler gives bread." Having endured World War I, she was now gathering her resources to face the cataclysm she knew was approaching. The first part of the book, "Writing on the Wall," was composed some ten years after H.D.'s stay in Vienna; the second part, "Advent," is a journal she kept during her analysis. Revealed here in the poet's crystal shard-like words and in Freud's own letters (which comprise an appendix) is a remarkably tender and human portrait of the legendary Doctor in the twilight of his life. Time double backs on itself, mingling past, present, and future in a visionary weave of dream, memory, and reflections.

Of special significance are the "Uncollected and Unpublished Poems (1912-1944)," the third section of the book, written mainly in the 1930s, during H. D.'s supposed "fallow" period. As these pages reveal, she was in fact writing a great deal of important poetry at the time, although publishing only a small part of it. The later, wartime poems in this section form an essential prologue to her magnificent Trilogy (1944), the fourth and culminating part of this book. Born in Pennsylvania in 1886, Hilda Doolittle moved to London in 1911 in the footsteps of her friend and one-time fiancé Ezra Pound. Indeed it was Pound, acting as the London scout for Poetry magazine, who helped her begin her extraordinary career, penning the words "H. 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.

The second set of New Directions Poetry Pamphlet series, which includes Vale Ave by H. D.; Eiko & Koma by Forrest Gander; A Musical Hell by Alejandra Pizarnik; The Beautiful Contradictions by Nathaniel Tarn.

Vale Ave - Latin for "Farewell, Hail" - is a hymn to Eros that unfolds as a gorgeous palimpsest of eternal recurrence and reincarnation, charting the course of two lovers who each seek the other across cultures, myths, and centuries. Vale Ave is alchemical - "mystery and portent, yes, but at the same time," as H. D. writes, "there is Resurrection and the hope of Paradise."

H. D.'s (Hilda Doolittle, 1884-1961) late poems of search and longing represent the mature achievement of a poet who has come increasingly to be recognized as one of the most important of her generation. The title poem and other long pieces in this collection ("Sagesse" and "Winter Love") were written between 1957 and her death four years later, and are heretofore unpublished, except in fragments. We can see now in proper context her fine ear for the free line, and understand why other poets, such as Denise Levertov, Robert Creeley, and Robert Duncan, find so much to admire in H. D.'s work. As in her earlier books, one level of H.D.'s significant poetic statement derives from her intimate knowledge of and identification with classical Greek and arcane cultures; taken together, these elements make up the poet's own personal myth. Norman Holmes Pearson, H. D's friend and literary executor, has contributed an illuminating foreword to this impressive collection.H.
