Amy Lowell
Amy Lowell (1874–1925) was an American poet and critic, known for her role in the Imagist movement, which emphasized clarity, precision, and free verse. She published several notable works, including "Sword Blades and Poppy Seed" and "Men, Women and Ghosts." Lowell's poetry often explored themes of love, nature, and the human experience, and she was influenced by both Eastern and Western literary traditions. In 1926, she was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her poetry collection "What's O'Clock."
