HD
HD is one of my favorite poets of all time. There's something about her poems that just resonates between the different layers of sound sense and vision sense as unconcealedly true. Last night, I started rereading "Red Roses For Bronze" -- see, doesn't just the title seduce you? -- and felt so alive and energized. Before I knew it, it was 3am! A good book of poems is one you want to keep reading, one you want to keep hearing and thinking about, one you can lose yourself in.
I read an interesting essay about her poems written by Marie Ponsot on the Academy of American Poets website that I recommend for anyone who likes HD's poems or anyone who doesn't know a thing about them: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/19222 .
