Extractions: Amy Lowell (1874-1925). Born to a prominent family in Brookline, Massachusetts, Lowell was privately educated. After the death of her parents, she inherited the family's ten-acre estate, including a staff of servants and a well-stocked library. Lowell wrote a great deal of undistinguished poetry that, unfortunately, prejudiced critics and readers against her better work. While traveling abroad, she became associated with the Imagists, a group of English and American poets in London who felt that sharply realized images gave poetry its power, and she gained recognition promoting their work in America after 1913. Her first collection of poems, A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass , appeared in 1912. Though her poetry never reached a wide audience, her criticism helped shape American poetic tastes of the time.

Extractions: Amy Lowell was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, and grew up on her family estate Sevenels (named after the seven Lowellsmother, father, and five children), which she ultimately inherited and whose lavish gardens figure prominently in her poetry. A girl of the upper classes was generally not permitted by her family to go off to the university as her brothers did, and so Lowells education consisted primarily of tutors, access to her fathers vast library, and travel in Europe. As she later wrote to the poet Archibald MacLeish in response to his inquiry, her formal education really did not amount to a hill of beans. She evinced an interest in literature when very young, and her first writing was published when she was eleven years old. While the diaries she kept as an adolescent suggest an early bisexuality, as she matured she became less interested in men and looked for love and companionship with other women. Her fascination with the theater led to her involvement for a time with the musical starlet Lina Abarbanell. It also led her to her first muse, the tragedian Eleonora Duse, whom she saw on stage for the first time in 1902. Duses talent and beauty inspired Lowell, already twenty-eight years old, to revive her youthful interest in writing. Lowell later recalled the momentous effect of watching Duse perform: It loosed a bolt in my brain and I knew where my true function lay. Her first poem since her juvenilia was addressed to the actress and marked the beginning of Lowells career as a writer, although she did not publish her first book

Extractions: Born into the powerful Lowell family of Massachusetts, Amy Lowell chose not to become a complacent Lowell wife but to live up to the challenges of her most prominent male ancestors. With the help of her family's extensive library, she was primarily self-taught. She published her first book of poetry in 1912, when she was thirty-eight; the book was well-reviewed and became a popular success. In 1913, the new and influential journal Poetry published some Imagist poems by H. D., and Lowell was so struck by H. D.'s lyrical approach that she decided to use her social prominence to promote the Imagist movement. She traveled to England to meet the writers, edited several Imagist anthologies, and published two books of criticism that offered positive endorsements. Not surprisingly, Lowell's own poetry was influenced by Imagism, as seen in such collections as Sword Blades and Poppy Seed Men, Women, and Ghosts

Extractions: BATTLEDORE AND SHUTTLECOCK by: Amy Lowell (1874-1925) HE shuttlecock soars upward In a parabola of whiteness, Turns, And sinks to a perfect arc. Plat! the battledore strikes it, And it rises again, Without haste, Winged and curving, Tracing its white flight Against the clipped hemlock trees. Plat! Up again, Orange and sparkling with sun, Rounding under the blue sky, Dropping, Fading to grey-green In the shadow of the coned hemlocks. "Ninety-one." "Ninety-two." "Ninety-three." The arms of the little girls Come up and up Precisely, Like mechanical toys. The battledores beat at nothing, And toss the dazzle of snow Off their parchment drums. Ninety-four. Plat! Ninety-five. Plat! Back and forth Goes the shuttlecock, Icicle-white, Leaping at the sharp-edged clouds, Overturning, Falling, Down, And down, Tinctured with pink From the upthrusting shine Of Oriental poppies. The little girls sway to the counting rhythm: Left foot, Right foot. Plat! Plat! Yellow heat twines round the handles of the battledores, The parchment cracks with dryness;

Extractions: "I too am a r a r e pattern. As I w a n d e r down the g a r d e n paths." ~ Amy Lowell A rare pattern, poet Amy Lowell (1874-1925) was born to a wealthy, prestigious family on this day in Brookline, Massachusetts Sensitive and argumentative, she was inspired by the poetry of John Keats and wrote her first volume of poetry, Dome of Many-Coloured Glass , in 1912. "All books," she wrote in Sword Blades and Poppy Seeds (1914), "are either dreams or swords." Her new style of poetry, called Imagism , stressed the importance of concrete words , presented in free-verse, that she called "unrhymed cadence." Influential to her peers, she created precise words chosen without rhetoric or ornamentation. "Employ always the exact word, not the nearly-exact," she explained, greatly influenced by the years she spent studying Oriental art. She experimented with 17-syllable haiku poems and edited a collection of Chinese poetry. "Do we want laurels for ourselves most,/Or most that no one else shall have any?" She questioned in La Ronde Du Diable , from the poetry collection What's O'clock , which earned Lowell the 1926 Pulitzer Prize You, too, are a rare pattern.
