"Biography of the Poet Hilda Doolittle"
Born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA. When he was studying at university, he was a classmate of Pound and Williams and was engaged to Pound. Due to poor health, he left school after only his sophomore year. In 1911, she traveled to Europe and took a short trip to London, where she met Pound again, with whom she had once been in love. Under the influence of Ezra Pound, he began to write poetry and became one of the important representatives of the Imagist poets. In 1913, she married another Imagist poet, the British writer Richard Oddington. Her poems are small and delicate, as clear and concrete in feeling as sculptures. But because it is limited to perceptual knowledge, it is bound to be impossible to explore the essence of things. After Oddington joined the army during World War I, she served as assistant editor of The Egotist. After the war, she divorced Oddington and lived in Switzerland for a long time. In 1924, she published a collection of poems. After that, she shifted from writing short lyric poems to writing increasingly longer narrative works, some of which were poems, some of which were prose, and some of which were a combination of poetry and prose. During the Second World War, she wrote a trilogy of long poems, "The Wall That Will Not Fall Down", "Salute to the Angels", and "The Flowering Staff", which were considered by critics to be a new peak in her creation. In 1960, Doolittle received the Medal of Merit in Poetry from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She died in Zurich on September 29, 1961.
