Hymen
New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1921. First American Edition. Octavo, 46, [1] pages, publisher's original green wraps. First American edition of H.D.’s scarce early modernist poetry collection, published by Henry Holt in 1921. Written in the spare, imagistic style that made Hilda Doolittle one of the central poets of literary modernism, Hymen draws on classical Greek ritual, myth, marriage-song, female experience, desire, and loss. A desirable early work by one of the defining figures of Imagism and twentieth-century poetry. Soiling to top wrap, some wear along edges, else in very good + condition. Item #302
Price: $375.00
