Trilogy: The Walls Do Not Fall Tribute to the Angels, The Flowering of the Rod

This new edition of H.D.'s great war-time trilogy of long poems is supplemented with over 30 pages of Aliki Barnstone's informative Readers' Notes. Trilogy's three long poems -- "The Walls Do Not Fall", "Tribute to the Angels", "The Flowering of the Rod" -- rank with T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets and Ezra Pound's Pisan Cantos as among the greatest civilian poetry of war in the 20th century. About "Trilogy", Denise Levertov wrote: "H.D. spoke of essentials. It is a simplicity not of reduction but of having gone further out of the circle of known light, further toward an unknown center". Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
