Extractions: Amy Lowell ( 27k JPG image ), American Imagist poet, was a woman of great accomplishment. She was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, to a prominent family of high-achievers. Her environment was literary and sophisticated, and when she left private school at 17 to care for her elderly parents, she embarked on a program of self-education. Her poetic career began in 1902 when she saw Eleonora Duse, a famous actress, perform on stage. Overcome with Eleonora's beauty and talent, she wrote her first poem addressed to the actress. They met only a couple times and never developed a relationship, but Eleonora inspired many poems from Amy and triggered her career. Ada Russell, another actress, became the love of Amy's life. She met Ada in 1909 and they remained together until Amy's death in 1925. Amy wrote many, many poems about Ada. In the beginning, as with her previous poems about women, she wrote in such a way that only those who knew the inspiration for a poem would recognize its lesbian content. But as time went on, she censored her work less and less. By the time she wrote Pictures of the Floating World , her poems about Ada were much more blatantly erotic. The series "Planes of Personality: Two Speak Together" chronicles their relationship, including the intensely erotic poem

In 1912 she published A Dome of Many-Colored Glass, a volume of conventional verse. The next year she went to England, where she met Ezra Pound and became identified with the imagists . After Pound abandoned the group, she became its leader and champion, publishing a three-volume anthology entitled Some Imagist Poets (1915, 1916, 1917). Lowell's own poetry is particularly notable for its rendering of sensuous images. Her experiments with polyphonic prose, a free-verse form that combines prose and poetry, are considered unsuccessful. Among her volumes of poetry are Sword Blades and Poppy Seed Men, Women, and Ghosts Can Grande's Castle What's o'Clock (1925; Pulitzer Prize), East Wind (1926), and Ballads for Sale Six French Poets (1915) and Tendencies in Modern American Poetry (1917). Her most ambitious work is her two-volume biography of Keats (1925).

The series "Planes of Personality: Two Speak Together" chronicles their relationship, including the intensely erotic poem "A Decade" that celebrates their tenth anniversary. Amy's dedication to the art of poetry was consuming. She purchased her parent's estate upon her death and established it as a center of poetry, as well as a place to breed her beloved English sheepdogs. She promoted American poetry, acting as a patron to a number of poets. Amy also wrote many essays, translated the works of others, and wrote literary biographies. Her two-volume biography of Keats was well-received in the United States, though it was rejected in England as presumptous.

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

Boston Sunday Globe Leisure, thou goddess of a bygone age, When hours were long and days sufficed to hold Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage Of undone duties, modern heritage, Haunted our happy minds; must thou withhold Thy presence from this over-busy world, And bearing silence with thee disengage Our twined fortunes? Deeps of unhewn woods Alone can cherish thee, alone possess Thy quiet, teeming vigor. This our crime: Not to have worshipped, marred by alien moods That sole condition of all loveliness, The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time. Swept, clean, and still, across the polished floor From some unshuttered casement, hid from sight

Extractions: February 9 ~ A Rare Pattern Life of Pi "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," 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.
