Pictures of the Floating World
I first came across Amy Lowell in high school in the early '70s.I first read Fir-Flower Tablets which first introduced me to the Chinese poet Li Po.I was enchanted with Pictures of the Floating World and I have spent agood deal of my time collecting her work by haunting bookstores.As a poetmyself Amy Lowell was in many ways an influence in my work along with Ovidand Catullus.I am really big fan of hers although I do know that she doesnot rate with the likes of Emily Dickinson for example or some others.ButI like her.

Lowell shows her mastery with flashes of brilliance
A fan, and writer of poetry myself, I had never heard of Lowell before and found myself stunned by the first work I read of hers, "Patterns."This lead me to read quite a few other poems of hersin a number of her books, and the whole of "Pictures of a FloatingWorld."Although there are many poems that are not very innovative orspecifically charming, it is worth the read to discover her brilliance inso many of her poems.The imagist poetry movement of the early 1900's isoften overlooked if one is not an extremely avid fan of it, but what abeautiful thing it is when Lowell writes at her best.Her poetry isstraight forward, beautiful, loving, "poetic"(ha, ha), tender andemotional, amusing at times, and it, not surprisingly, creates beautifulimages in ones mind.Lowell's life is just as interesting as her poetry,and it should be looked in to as well, to gain a better understanding andappreciation for her poetry.Enjoy! ...

For the Sentimentalists
I bought this Dover Thrift knowing that I would at least like a few of the poems, and even one great poem would be worth a measly dollar.These are poems that speak of the greatness of America, or the treachery of slavery, or other such things that bring tears to your eyes if you don't fall asleep before its over.Now don't get me wrong, every poem in this book marks a great step for women in poetry, and all of the poems are good.For those who like surrealism and dreamlike imagerythough (like me), this book is more worth buying for the poems such as:"Daddy" (S. Plath's jerking rendering of the thoughts of a half-Jew, half-German woman), "Bluebeard's Closet" (R. Cooke's portrayal of the horrors of the room filled with dead wives), and a few other such of the like.The title, "Great Poems by American Women" should read "Great First Poems by American Women".The great poems of more recent poets were awfully ignored in the making of this mediorce (but hey, not a bad trade for the price) anthology. ...
