 The rediscovery of H.D. began in the 1970s , and coincided with the emergence of a feminist criticism that found much to admire in the questioning of gender roles typical of her writings . Specifically , those critics who were challenging the standard view of English @-@ language literary modernism based on the work of such male writers as Pound , Eliot and James Joyce , were able to restore H.D. to a more significant position in the history of that movement . Her writings have served as a model for a number of more recent women poets working in the modernist tradition ; including the New York School poet Barbara Guest , the Anglo @-@ American poet Denise Levertov , the Black Mountain poet Hilda Morley and the Language poet Susan Howe . Her influence is not limited to female poets , and many male writers , including Robert Duncan and Robert Creeley , have acknowledged their debt .
