 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.
Lowell enjoyed writing, and two stories she wrote during this time were printed in Dream Drops; or, Stories from Fairyland (1887), by a "Dreamer." The volume was published privately by her mother, who also contributed material, and the proceeds were donated to the Perkins Institute for the Blind.
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).

 Robert Lowell - Poet
Lowell also found himself in conflict with tradition when he protested both World War II and the Vietnam War and as he wrestled with the place of religion in poetry, with the morality of capitalism, and with the vicissitudes of three marriages.

 Lowell, Percival (1855-1916)
Born into a wealthy and well-known Bostonian family, Lowell gave no early indication of the obsession that would come to dominate his life and create an enduring romance involving extraterrestrial canals (see Mars, canals) and an advanced Martian civilization (see Mars, life on).
Lowell countered by arguing that large telescopes were ill-suited to planetary observation and, in any case, much depended on the seeing conditions which, he asserted, at Flagstaff were among the best available.
Lowell claimed that the canals only appeared to him from time to time – rare and precious visions – when the seeing was excellent.

The editing of the sonnets in Lowell’s Collected Poems is one of the little controversies surrouding this new book, because the editor (another old friend of Lowell’s), Frank Bidart, was forced to pick and choose among the various versions of the sonnets that Lowell published during his lifetime, as Bidart assembled the Collected Poems.
There is a letter from Elizabeth Bishop to Lowell in which she complains that because of his illustrious family background of Bostonian monied nobility, when he writes about his ancestors it always seems resonant and important, whereas when she tries to write about her own family background it just doesn’t have the same cachet.
