ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert Lowell

American poet born in Boston, United States, in 1917. His ancestors include the poets James Russell Lowell and Amy Lowell.
He attended Harvard University, but wanted to transfer to Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. He graduated in 1940, the year he married Jean Stafford. He was sentenced to one year and one day in prison during World War II for conscientious objection, serving five months of his sentence. With the book "Lord Weary's," Robert Lowell won his first Pulitzer Prize in 1947.
After his divorce in 1948, Lowell married the writer and critic Elisabeth Hardwick. After a few years away, the poet moved to Boston in 1954. With "Life Studies" he won the National Book Award for poetry in 1959.
His campaigns for human rights and against war in the 1960s brought public attention to him and to the poetry books that followed: "For the Union Dead" (1964), "Near the Ocean" (1967), and "Notebook 1967-68" (1969). With "The Dolphin" (1973) he was awarded his second Pulitzer Prize. He died suddenly in 1977.
