 During a meeting with H.D. in a tea room near the British Museum that year , Pound appended the signature H.D. Imagiste to her poetry , creating a label that was to stick to the poet for most of her writing life . However H.D. told different versions of this story at various times , and during her career published under a variety of pseudonyms . That same year , Harriet Monroe started her Poetry magazine and asked Pound to act as foreign editor . In October , he submitted three poems each by H.D. and Aldington under the rubric Imagiste . Aldington 's poems were in the November issue of Poetry and H.D. ' s poems " Hermes of the Ways , " " Orchard , " and " Epigram , " in the January 1913 issue . Imagism as a movement was launched with H.D. as its prime exponent .
