For my final project, I decided on taking a poet out of the dustbin of Modernism and examining her life as equated to her poetic works. Amy Lowell, a once revered and popular imagist poet who wrote along side people like Ezra Pound and Aldington, soon dwindled away from the shelves in the years after her death. Through research, I tried to lay down her biography and try to examine why exactly hardly any one reads her anymore, and found the big rumors and drama that surrounded her public life that eventually led to her poetic downfall.
I’ve posted my paper as a Google Docs link:
