description: Hilda "H.D." Doolittle was an American poet, novelist, and memoirist known for her association with the early 20th century avant-garde Imagist group of poets such as Ezra Pound and Richard Aldington. The question of gender was central to H. D.'s creative process. Drawing on feminist theory as well as fascinating biographical sources, DuPlessis here reveals in detail the ways in which a woman writer's creative energies have their sources in issues of personal history and conflict, the ambiguities of sexuality, and the challenges to identity represented by the dual roles of woman and poet.
