>Hilda Doolittle (1886 – 1961) was an American poet, novelist and memoirist, usually associated with the early 20th-century avant-garde Imagist group of poets, that included the modernist poets Ezra Pound and Richard Aldington. She published under the pen name H.D., and is today regarded as a forerunner of Lesbian Poetry.
>During World War I, she suffered the death of her brother and the breakup of her marriage to the poet Richard Aldington. These events weighed heavily on her later poetry; according to the writer Glenn Hughes "her loneliness cries out from her poems". She befriended Sigmund Freud during the 1930s and, seeking to understand her bisexuality, residual war trauma and spiritual experiences, became his patient.[4] She was interested in Ancient Greek literature and her poetry often borrowed from Greek mythology and classical poets, but is also noted for its incorporation of natural scenes and objects, often used to evoke a particular feeling or mood.

one of the very small number of great woman poets
one of the very small number of good vers libre poets
trilogy is really something quite unique, recommend it to anyone interested in long meandering verse.

I like it, it's simple. So simple it almost feels like an armature work, but that it straddles close to that while still not being so is why I like it. Not surprising it's modernist, which opened up the confines of poetry so much that what in former says would have been dismissed as an insufficiency is no longer.

Whirl up, sea -
whirl your pointed penis,
splash your great penis
on our rocks,
hurl your green over us,
cover us with your pools of fir.

Whirl up, sea -
whirl your pointed penis,
splash your great penis
on our cocks,
hurl your white over us,
cover us with your pools of cum.

I love Doolittle, and you've chosen a nice one today, OP - dodging my typical trollish jabs. You did, however, redpill me to the fact she was a bisexual, essentially pillaging my psyche and raping the idea of H.D. which dwelt therein, it will take some time before I can make peace with this.

Great poem.
