Amy Lowell (1874-1925) was an Modernist poet, essayist, biographer, reviewer, and translator, who traveled around the world and collected rare books and manuscripts. Much of her education was accomplished with her voracious appetite for reading in her father's 7,000-volume library. Her first poem was written at the age of nine, but she didn't become a poet until later in life (1902). Read the poetry and works of Amy Lowell.
