Published in 1916, H. D.’s first collection is a book of spare, sharp-edged poems set on bleak shores and in a half-imagined Greece. A stunted sea rose flung on the sand, a sea lily, a helmsman, a shrine, a huntress and an athlete watched from the crowd are drawn in short lines of startling clarity.
