Born in the mid-sixties, I grew up with a house full of books. They ones I liked had facts in them like the dictionary or encyclopedia. For some reason listening to what someone else thought made me nuts. One day I picked up a science fiction paperback and discovered a boy like me, one who didn’t belong here. That feeling generated by ADDHD is common among us so afflicted, but there was no word in my extensive vocabulary to deal with it. I did however find kinship in those stories and often dreamed of a world where my abnormal was seen as a benefit. Not among children it isn’t. I was laughed at once for using microscopic in a conversation. I had no choice but to render my taunters pointless wanderers in the vast desert of stupid and walked off.

Hilda Doolittle (September 10, 1886 – September 27, 1961) was an American modernist poet, novelist, and memoirist who wrote under the nameH.D. throughout her life. Her career began in 1911 after she moved to London and co-founded the avant-garde Imagist group of poets with American expatriate poet and critic Ezra Pound. During this early period, her minimalist free verse poems depicting Classical motifs drew international attention. Eventually distancing herself from the Imagist movement, she experimented with a wider variety of forms, including fiction, memoir, and verse drama. Reflecting the trauma she experienced in London during the Blitz, H.D.'s poetic style from World War II until her death pivoted towards complex long poems on esoteric and pacifist themes.
H.D. was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to wealthy and educated parents who relocated to Upper Darby in 1896. Discovering her bisexuality, she had her first same-sex relationship while attending Bryn Mawr College betwe
