		Miss Lowell did not come actively into the movement until after that time, but once she had entered it, she became its leader, and it was chiefly through her effort in America that the movement attained so much prominence and so influenced the trend of poetry for the years immediately succeeding.
		Lowell was politically involved—he became a conscientious objector during the Second World War and was imprisoned as a result, and actively protested against the war in Vietnam—and his personal life was full of marital and psychological turmoil.
		Lowell was already looked upon by his companions as a man marked by wit and poetic sentiment; Miss White was admired for her beauty, her character and her intellectual gifts, and the two became thus the hero and heroine among a group of ardent young men and women.

		Chief among the proponents of the “Trans-Neptunian Planet” was Percival Lowell (1855 – 1916), a traveler and idealist, scion to a wealthy and distinguished Boston “brahmin” family.
		In the 1890’s Lowell became the leading advocate of the theory that Mars was crisscrossed by an elaborate network of “canals.” Lowell believed that the canals were the work of an intelligent alien race, forced to divert water from the polar ice-caps by the drying up of surface water on their planet.
		Lowell’s reputation suffered, as many practicing astronomers came to view him as a dreamer and an amateur rather than as a professional colleague.

	Selected Poems of Amy Lowell edited by Melissa Bradshaw and Adrienne Munich
		Before that the little I knew was that Amy Lowell was an acolyte of Pound's Imagism, (which I later found to be not quite accurate), that she was a famous Lowell, and that she had written the widely anthologized poem, "Patterns" (both of which were true).
		Lowell's important place in the history of modernism, particularly in the modernist movement which flourished in the United States during the first few decades of the twentieth-century, can be better reassessed with this edition of her poems.
		Munich: Lowell was strongly influenced by Coleridge, Keats, Poe, and the French symbolists, in fact, she saw herself as a direct descendent of these poets.
