Hilda Doolittle
American poet Hilda Doolittle’s early verse was influenced by her friendships with American poets Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams, whom she met in college. She belonged to a group of imagist writers whose work was characterized by the use of poetic imagery, colloquial language, and free verse. Among Doolittle’s publications are Sea Garden (1916), Heliodora and Other Poems (1924), Palimpsest (1926), and the autobiographical Tribute to Freud (1956).
