Screen Shot of Node Map of H.D. Correspondents
Although H.D.’s circle extends beyond the people in her files of correspondence, it is possible to map her circle of friends, acquaintances, and correspondents, based on her archives. The map below shows all of her correspondents based on the finding aids in the Beinecke, Bryn Mawr, and several other special collections libraries (Go to SpicyNodes to see it in full screen). Any overlaps with Bryher’s files of correspondence are also indicated. Click any name to expand and explore further connections. Contacts are nested under the people who introduced H.D. to them. Created by Dr. Celena E. Kusch, co-chair H.D. International Society.
James J. Conway’s Strange Flowers blog includes brief profiles of H.D., Bryher, and members of their social and literary circles. This posting also features a brief glimpse of some of those circles in a graphic format.

4-Generation Pedigree Family Tree from Wikitree
Based on an undergraduate research project with Kristian Wilson from the University of South Carolina Upstate (’15), the Silverstein Chronology, and an H.D. family tree already started at http://wikitree.com, a very nice genealogical background is available, and more will be added in the coming months. The snapshot below gives a quick taste of the site. To explore the whole family so far, click here.
In Sept. 2014, The Paris Review posted a birthday wish to H.D. which includes the full video of Borderline. Thank you, Paris Review!
Screenshot of PoemTalk Podcast focusing on H.D.’s Helen in Egypt at http://jacket2.org/podcasts/i-hieroglyph-poemtalk-84
Hear H.D. read Helen in Egypt while scholars and poets close read selections from the poem in the podcast from Poem Talk #84 “The I as Hieroglyph: H.D., Helen in Egypt” with Julia Bloch, Dee Morris, Annette Debo, and host Al Filreis (27 Jan. 2015). This podcast offers excellent background into H.D.’s sources for the poem as well as detailed pathways for interpreting key lines and images within it. It can serve as a valuable teaching resource for classes on the modernist long poem, late modernism, feminist poetry, classics and their adaptations, and, of course, H.D. herself.
The Beinecke Library is currently publishing new images from the H.D. Papers to the Digital Collection. Among the latest is http://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Record/3472749
