Review:

...But what doesn't need illumination is the similarity (and difference) of Trilogy to Pound's Cantos, a collection of more than 100 poems begun in 1917 and written over 40 years of that poet's life. In them, classical and Renaissance literary scenes and figures are combined with American and European history and Oriental thought that strain the knowledge of even the most well-read person. Yet, where Pound showed the love for a woman to be the cause of man's wars, H.D. elevated the female to the persona of "the Lady," a nurturing combination of early earth goddesses and the many Marys mentioned in the New Testament. The image of this "new Eve" is in sharp, clear and restorative contrast to the negative qualities of Pound's mythological Helen of Troy or the very real rain of German bombs onto London in 1944 when H.D. wrote "Trilogy". In some ways, those two words-"the lady"-are the ultimate triumph over language that has been stripped to its purest, most evocative form by one of poetry's premiere practitioners. -- Home News Tribune, 2 March 1999

H.D. spoke of essentials. It is a simplicity not of reduction but of having gone further our of the circle of known light, further toward an unknown center. -- Denise Levertov

[O]ne of the great long poetry sequences of the century, and we should be grateful to New Directions for republishing it with loving attention. -- The Boston Phoenix, August 1998

[T]his ecstasy, ecstasy in language, in beautiful language, is what carries me through the entire trilogy, not only content with her tricks...not only content with these high-handed fictions but enchanted with her whole poem, not to say enraptured. -- Hayden Carruth, The Hudson Review
