He spent the next year studying with Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren at Louisiana State University. Before departing for Louisiana, Lowell married Jean Stafford, a writer of short stories and novels. 1940 also saw Lowell's conversion to Roman Catholicism, a repudiation of his ancestors' New England Protestantism as well as a dedication to what seemed to him the more authentic faith of the Roman Church. After a year at Louisiana State, Lowell and Stafford moved to Monteagle, Tennessee, where they shared a house with Allen Tate and his wife, the writer Caroline Gordon. When the Second World War began in 1941, Lowell had volunteered for military service. His poor eyesight led to his initial rejection from armed service. In 1943, however, Lowell received a conscription notice from the United States military. Shocked and dismayed by the Allied firebombing of civilians in German cities like Dresden, he declared himself at this time a conscientious objector. He served for several months in jail (his experiences form the basis of "Memories of West Street and Lepke"), and finished his sentence performing community service in Connecticut. During these months, he finished and published his first book, Land of Unlikeness . During the next year he revised the book and published the new version as

Lawrence Lowell and poets James Russell Lowell and Amy Lowell. When preparing for college at St. Marks School in New Hampshire, he was encouraged to write poetry by a young teacher, Richard Eberhart. After two years at Harvard College, he lived in a tent on the Tennessee lawn of poetic mentor Alan Tate before moving on, for reasons of health, to Kenyon College to study with John Crowe Ransom. As a conscientious objector protesting against Allied bombing of civilian populations, Lowell was sentenced to a year in prison. Prison memories were shared in his Memories of West Street and Lepke. His volume Life Studies helped foster the confessional school of poetry and was immediately recognized by a National Book Award. Throughout his life, Robert Lowell experienced various manic-depressive episodes which required hospitalization. After his divorce from Jean Stafford, he married writer Elizabeth Hardwick. William Carlos Williams became his new mentor. Beginning in 1954, Lowell taught at Boston University. Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton were among his students. Then, while teaching half-time at Harvard from 1963 until his death in 1977, he was actively engaged in opposition to America’s role in the Vietnam War. He protested with Norman Mailer and publicly declined an invitation from President Lyndon Johnson to participate in a White House Festival of Arts, stating that, “We may even be drifting on our way to the last nuclear ruin.”
