 | Analyzing Freud by Hilda Doolittle, Susan Stanford Friedman
Although Freud asked the poet H. D. not to write about their psychoanalytic sessions when she turned to him seeking a creative breakthrough, she apparently couldn't help herself. The letters collected here--many for the first time--swirl around the experience. Letters between famous correspondents including Ezra Pound, Anna Freud, and H.D.'s close friend Bryher, are presented, along with Freud's letters to H.D.
