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.

New H.D. Trilogy and H.D. Biography Wikis Launched

In light of the new international recognition of H.D.’s Trilogy and after discussion with many H.D. Society members, the H.D. International Society is launching two new wikis–The H.D. Trilogy Wiki and The H.D. Biography Wiki. These wikis offer a collaborative space for H.D. scholars worldwide to share annotations, connections, notes, and details that might not otherwise surface in scholarly publications. By leveraging the collective knowledge of the group, together we can create valuable teaching tools and research resources for expanding our knowledge of H.D.’s life and writings.

The wikis include detailed instructions for citing and crediting individual contributions. Anyone wishing to contribute need simply to send an email requesting a username and password to rawalsh@ncsu.edu or ckusch@uscupstate.edu. We ask that you follow any new contributions you make with your name in boldface brackets: [contributed by Firstname Lastname] to assist in proper citation by any wiki users.
