"No one should make a living by writing," says Amy Lowell, an elitist Bostonian of overwhelming financial security.
Some referred to Amy Lowell as the "Hippopoetess" because of a glandular problem that caused her to be as wide as she was tall.
Her early poetry is very traditional compared to her work after she embraced Imagism, much to Pound's dismay.
Many people in her day thought her strange because she
-smoked cigars
-slept in until 3 pm
-and had liaisons with women
Well renowned during her life, but quickly forgotten once dead.
Polyphonic Prose
Is something she knows
Pound abandoned Imagism soon after she started tampering with it.
