THE POETRY OF H.D.

on BBC Radio 3

Selected and introduced by Ian Fletcher and read by SISTER MARY CORCORAN and MARILYN MEYERS
The American poet Hilda Doollttle , who signed her work ' H.D.', was born in 1886 and died in 1961. Mr. Fletcher sees her as a lifelong Imagist, whose work gained added strength as she grew older. Of her war trilogy he says ' These poems challenge comparison with Eliot's Four Quartets, and are certainly not dwarfed by the comparison.' followed by an interlude at 7.25
