PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
H.D. (1886-1961) (the pen name of Hilda Doolittle) was born in the Moravian community of Bethlehem, PA in 1886. A major twentieth century poet with an ear more subtle than Pound's, Moore's, or Yeats's as Marie Ponsot writes, she was the author of several volumes of poetry, fiction, essays, and memoirs. She is perhaps one of the best-known and prolific women poets of the Modernist era. Bryher Ellerman was a novelist and H.D.'s wealthy companion. She financed H.D.'s therapy with Freud. Louis L. Martz's publications included The Paradise Within: Studies in Vaughan, Traherne, and Milton, Poet of Exile: a Study of Milton's Poetry and Many Gods and Many Voices: the Role of the Prophet in English and American Modernism. He edited H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), 1886-1961. Collected Poems, 1912-1944.
