Biographical or Historical Data:	Hilda Doolittle, or H.D., (1886-1961) was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on September 10, 1886. She has been described as a premier Imagist poet although her greatest body of work can be traced to later in her life, during and directly after World War II. She spent most of her life living, traveling and keeping up with her friend and fellow writer Winifred Bryher. She corresponded with her cousin, Univ. of Colorado English Professor Francis Wolle, and with her friend and admirer, Norman Holmes Pearson, while she lived in Europe (mostly in Switzerland and London). H.D. won the Gold Medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters as well as the Brandeis and Longview Awards. She died in Zurich, Switzerland on September 21, 1961.
