about the author: H.D. is Hilda Doolittle (1886 –1961), an American modernist poet, novelist, and memoirist. She was born in Bethlehem, PA, attended Bryn Mawr college in Philadelphia for a year, dating Ezra Pound, and moved to England permanently about 1912.
A gem, but one that requires some reader commitment. japaul22's 2022 review got me interested. (Thanks!)
H.D. was an American poet from Pennsylvania who moved permanently to England where she made her name as a writer associated with Ezra Pound. This 1920's novel is from a single manuscript marked "Destroy" by H.D. and found after her death in 1961. It was a known but unpublished text for some 30 years, a ghost text cited by writers and scholars both for its style and its insight into the literary world of its in London, until it was published here in 1992.
It's all stream of consciousness, with a lot of repetition with individual "paragraphs", seeming to emphasize the writer's constant own bewilderment. It's a roman à clef or, a kind of autobiography but with fictional names, of her years around and during WWI, when she first arrived in Europe and went through several relationships, a marriage, and had a child from an extramarital affair. A lot happened to this poet and literary-world presence. She was engaged and then not to a young Ezra Pound, who she met in Philadelphia at age 15. She came to Europe with a women lover, the author Frances Josepha Gregg, and Gregg's mom, settling in London. Then Gregg got married. Then H.D. got married and then WWI happened. Her husband enlisted and openly had affairs, saying he wanted to keep multiple relationships. While her husband was in France, she moved in with her own lover, and got pregnant. Then broke off this relationship. Her husband came home and there was some confusion before her daughter was born and she and her husband eventually separated. A young admirer of her poetry, the author Annie Winifred "Bryher" Ellerman, became her next lesbian lover and helped her with her pregnancy and baby. (After the book, this relationship got rocky too).
This is an interesting work. Wonderfully playful here, deeply pained there. In the broken stream of conscious, it seems Hermione Gart, fictional H.D., is always searching and never settling. Tormented by bedbugs, swept away by the Louve (I can kind of imagine), deeply attracted to her men (it's strange seeing Ezra Pound described in such sexually attractive lights). She is deeply selfish without ever meaning to be, blind to obvious, but captures her own pains of the moment. The reader must latch on or put the book away. You have to engage in the text emotionally, go into your reader trance and be there with her, sometimes in a rush. Otherwise it's torture. The book becomes an experience, demands it of your brain.
I enjoyed this weird thing, this relic, this messy meaningful word soup by this poet whose poetry I haven't read. I can't recommend it, as you won't like it unless you already want to read it. But it rewards some commitment.
