A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass

by Amy Lowell from 1912

About

Lowell's debut collection (1912) shows her before Imagism transformed her style: lyrical, romantic, formally traditional, already commanding a wide emotional range. Lowell became one of the defining figures of American modernist poetry, championing Imagism and later developing 'Polyphonic Prose.' This early collection has a freshness and directness that her more theorized later work sometimes lacks. As group reading, her precise imagery and clear emotional content make her short lyrics accessible to a wide range.
