I came across a poem by Amy Lowell (1874-1925) and when I looked her up at poetryfoundation.org I thought a biography would be interesting to read. Which it was. I loved learning about the famous Lowell family, and as Amy Lowell lived in Brookline, MA, and I lived in the Boston area for many years, I enjoyed reading about what was going on culturally there in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Miss Lowell was a late bloomer, but worked incessantly once she got going, not only writing poetry but also promoting the modern style and literary artists like D.H. Lawrence and Robert Frost. She did a ton of other stuff besides which I won't go into here- really a remarkable woman. Author Jean Gould presented her fairly, strengths, flaws, and all, which I am sure Lowell herself would appreciate, and I love that it ended with one of Lowell's beautiful and moving poems, "In Excelsis."
