H.D.

Doolittle, Hilda

 known as H.D.

(born Sept. 10, 1886, Bethlehem, Pa., U.S.—died Sept. 27, 1961, Zürich, Switz.) U.S. poet. Doolittle went to Europe in 1911 and remained there the rest of her life. One of the first Imagists (see Imagism) and deeply influenced by Ezra Pound, she wrote clear, impersonal, sensuous verse that combined classical themes with modernist techniques. Her later work was looser and more passionate, though it remained erudite and symbolic. Her collections include Sea Garden (1916), Hymen (1921), and Red Roses for Bronze (1929). She was also acclaimed for her translations, verse drama, and prose works.
