In Sea Garden, H. D. turns to the sea and the natural world in a collection of poems shaped by vivid, precise imagery. Shore, water, and landscape become more than scenery: they give the poems their language and emotional force.

First published in 1916, the collection reflects H. D.’s spare, image-focused style. Rather than telling a continuous story, its poems invite close attention to the textures and moods of the natural world.

For listeners drawn to modern poetry and concentrated descriptions of nature, Sea Garden offers a sequence of short works to hear slowly and revisit.
