	Amy Lowell's Life and Career
		As the daughter of a wealthy family, Lowell was first educated at the family home, "Sevenels" (named by her father as a reference to the seven Lowells living there), by an English governess who left her with a lifelong inability to spell.
		Russell was Lowell's companion, providing love and emotional support, as well as the practical skill of organizing Lowell's busy life.
		Lowell's lectures on the "new poetry" of imagism and free verse drew large crowds, and she was so persuasive that the public began accepting her literary judgments "as nothing less than gospel" (Heymann, p.214).

	Bigelow, Katherine (7) = kat75217.htm
		Whether the relationship was platonic or sexual is not certain -- Ada burned all personal correspondence as executrix for Amy after her death -- but poems which Amy clearly directed towards Ada are sometimes erotic and full of suggestive imagery.
		Her relative, James Russell Lowell, had published in his generation A Fable for Critics, witty and pointed verse analyzing poets who were his contemporaries.
		Ada Russell, her executrix, not only burned all personal correspondence, as directed by Amy Lowell, but also published three more volumes of Lowell's poems posthumously.

		From about 1914 on, Ada Russell, a widow who was 11 years older than Lowell, traveled with Amy as secretary and living companion.
		Her relative, James Russell Lowell, had published "A Fable for Critics," a witty and pointed verse analyzing poets he felt were his contemporaries.
		Her poem, "A Decade," had been written as a celebration of her ten-year anniversary with Ada, and the "Two Speak Together" was recognized for the love poetry that it is. The same-sex theme was not completely concealed, especially to those who knew the couple well.

		She was a precocious child even among a prominent family of high achievers and important New England personages, James Russell Lowell, a great-cousin, among them.
		She was survived by Ada (Dwyer) Russell, the woman with whom she had shared her home and her passions for thirteen years.
		Much of Lowell's poetry was inspired by her two great muses, Ada Russell, also her fairest and most reliable critic, and Eleonora Duse, a popular stage actress for whom Lowell's infatuation was powerful and life-long, though they met only twice.

	On "The Weather-Cock Points South"
		All this changes, however, in the subsequent sections, particularly in the section of lyrical love poems addressed to or about Ada Dwyer Russell, subtitled "Planes of Personality: Two Speak Together." Here, the detached observation of surface detail signals an undercurrent of passionate emotion and eroticism, disguised yet explicitly drawn in the natural images Lowell creates.
		Lowell's poetics of imagism, with its preponderance of garden imagery, combined with her love for Ada Russell, allowed her to write extremely erotic lesbian poetry.
		However, because of Lowell's physical size and demeanor and the cultural invisibility of her erotic sensibility, the power of her lesbianism as a creative force within her work in particular, and within modernism in general, has been largely disregarded.

		In ill health, to which her obesity contributed, through much of the last eight years of her life, Lowell died just after the Keats book was published in 1925, at age fifty-one.

	On "Sisters"
		Sappho is at the origins of a specifically female lyric tradition and a female desire uninhibited by the traditions of the Church Fathers and the prohibitions of Queen Victoria.
		Even more importantly, though more covertly in the poem, Sappho represents the beginnings of a tradition of women writing love poems for and about each other; thus she validates Amy Lowell's own lifelong love relationship with Ada Dwyer Russell as subject, audience, and context of many of her poems.
		The poet's fantasy encounter with Sappho is erotically charged, as the speaker appropriates the traditionally masculine position, and gazes lovingly at her:
