Trade Review
"Asphodel is a brilliant experimentalist text important to the history and theory of both modernism and women's writing."—Susan Stanford Friedman, author of Penelope's Web: H.D's Fictions and the Engendering of Modernism

"This novel . . . is a considerable lyric meditation on femaleness, sexual and maternal choices, and the meanings of war, history, and violence. Its publication adds a striking text to the modernist canon."—Rachel Blau DuPlessis, author of H.D.: The Career of that Struggle
