This anthology by Robert Lowell, translated by Antonio Resines, offers a deep insight into the work of one of the most influential American poets of the 20th century. Lowell, known for his confessional style and exploration of personal and social themes, presents a representative sample of his poetry in this selection. Born in Boston in 1917 and passed away in New York in 1977, Lowell renewed American poetry after Whitman's death, leaving a valuable testimony of the struggle of the American liberal intellectual against the chaotic daily reality. His work is characterized by a cold detachment that saves his most terrifying poems from pathos, making them almost human.
Robert Traill Spence Lowell IV was an American poet. He was born into a Boston Brahmin family that could trace its origins back to the Mayflower. His ancestors and contemporary family were important subjects in his poetry. Growing up in Boston also informed his poems, which were frequently set in Boston and the New England region. Literary scholar Paula Hayes argues that, particularly in his early work, Lowell mythologized New England.
