Lowell was called the father of the confessional poets, a term used to describe among others Sylvia Plath , Anne Sexton, and John Berryman. Lowell's work grew from his own unhappiness and the social, political, and ideological movements in the U.S. during the Post World War II decades. He was a heavy drinker, and was married three times. From 1949 the manic-depressive Lowell spent periods in mental hospitals. I cowered in terror. I wasn't a child at all - unseen and all-seeing, I was Agrippina in the Golden House of Nero... Near me was the white measuring-door My Grandfather had penciled with my Uncle's heights. In 1911, he had stopped growing at just six feet. (from 'My Last Afternoon with Uncle Devereux Winslow', 1959) Robert Lowell was born in Boston as the son of Robert Traill Spence Lowell, a naval officer, and Charlotte (Winslow) Lowell, the dominating figure in the family. Other members of the distinguished, intellectual family included the poet and critic James Russell Lowell and the poet Amy Lowell. Robert was nicknamed Cal, partly after the the Roman emperor Caligula, known for his cruelty, and Caliban, familiar from Shakespeare's play The Tempest These two early books are among Lowell's confessional works, others were LIFE STUDIES (1959), which won the National Book Award in 1960, and THE DOLPHIN (1973). In THE MILLS OF THE KAVANAUGHS (1949) Lowell blended classical myths with New England landscape. The work contained a narrative poem of some 600 lines and five other poems. 'The Quaker Graveyeard in Nantucket' referred to such sources as Henry David Thoreau's

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

DC PLACES ISSUE Robert Lowell JULY IN WASHINGTON The stiff spokes of this wheel touch the sore spots of the earth. On the Potomac, swan-white power launches keep breasting the sulphurous wave. Otters slide and dive and slick back their hair, raccoons clean their meat in the creek. On the circles, green statues ride like South American prongs and spearheads of some equatorial backland that will inherit the globe. The elect, the elected . . . they come here bright as dimes, and die dishevelled and soft. but we wish the river had another shore, some further range of delectable mountains, It seems the least little shove would land us there, that only the slightest repugnance of our bodies we no longer control could drag us back. Robert Lowell (1917-1977) is the author of 16 books of poems, including Life Studies The Dolphin , and The Mills of the Kavanaughs Published in Volume 7, Number 3, Summer 2006.

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. Then, after marrying novelist Jean Stafford, Lowell studied at Louisiana State University. Poems he wrote, revised and published as Lord Weary’s Castle, won a Pulitzer Prize. 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.”
