Amy Lowell (1874-1925) was an American poet, critic, and lecturer. She was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, and was the daughter of a wealthy Boston family. She was educated at private schools and at Radcliffe College. Lowell was a prolific writer, publishing several volumes of poetry, including A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass (1912), Sword Blades and Poppy Seed (1914), and Men, Women and Ghosts (1916). She was also a critic and lecturer, and wrote several books on poetry and literary criticism. Lowell was a major figure in the Imagist movement, which sought to create a new style of poetry that was direct and unadorned. She was also a leader in the modernist movement, which sought to break away from traditional forms of poetry. Lowell was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, which she received in 1926 for her collection What's O'Clock. She was also the first woman to be elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Lowell died in 1925 at the age of 51. She is remembered as one of the most important American poets of the early 20th century.
