Hilda Doolittle research paper super brainstorm thing

H.D.'s Helen in Egypt is kinda like a gentle kick to Homer's balls. A different take on the same story told over and over again. Similar to a left-handed right-hand layup in basketball. Different and yet, gets you two points.
H.D. spent most of her life in threesomes. It must've been super fun for her daughter.
Girl-power to the max.
Nature, Modernism, Feminism, Imagism, and Greek myths... quite the set of specialties.
Helen in Egypt (not Troy) responds to everything about the ancient epic penis driven texts.
How did Helen get to Egypt? Can you say Euripides and Homer? How did H.D. get to Helen in Egypt? Can you say Freud and Pound?
Poetry of such power, what is Helen in Egypt really saying?
American expatriate in Europe, bisexual, poet: Hilda Doolittle.
War, Death, Love, Vagina: Helen in Egypt.
