Primarily known as a poet H.D. was also a prolific prose writer. In fact her wriitng career began with the publication of children s stories in Sunday school magazines. She wrote several novels only two of which were published in her lifetime and a number of short stories and novellas some of which were published under pseudonyms. Two of the three stories reprinted here for the first time were published in the 1920s under the names Rhoda Peters and D.A. Hill in Pagany and Life and Letters Today. The third story--really a novella--was published in Alfred Kreymborg s anthology The Second American Caravan in 1928 and has been unavailable ever since. These stories offer a remarkable insight into H.D. s thinking as she struggled to develop her work at a transitional time in her life.
