Poesie imagiste di Hilda Doolittle

Rate this book
Coniato e teorizzato da Ezra Pound agli albori del Novecento, l’Imagismo trovò la sua migliore espressione nella poetessa americana Hilda Doolittle (H. D.), di cui per la prima volta arriva in Italia un’antologia poetica che raccoglie gli esiti più alti e riconosciuti tratti dalle raccolte Sea Garden (1916) e The God (1913-1917). Con una lingua naturale, essenziale, priva di costrutti artificiosi, il verso libero e irregolare, le Poesie imagiste di H.D., tradotte da Giorgia Sensi, “non rappresentano, ma presentano”, combinando immagini nitide in un movimento avvolgente che evoca sentimenti e emozioni profonde attraverso uno stile in cui l’elemento narrativo fa di questa poetessa una voce più che mai contemporanea e attuale.

About the author

H.D.

123 books334 followers
An innovative modernist American writer, Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961) wrote under her initials in a career that stretched from 1909 to 1961. H.D., most well known for her lyric and epic poetry, also wrote novels, memoirs, short stories, essays, reviews, a children’s book, and translations. An American woman who lived her adult life abroad, H.D. was engaged in the formalist experimentation that preoccupied much of her generation. A range of thematic concerns resonates through her writing: the role of the poet, the civilian representation of war, material and mythologized ancient cultures, the role of national and colonial identity, lesbian and queer sexuality, and religion and spirituality.
