Amy Lawrence Lowell (1874 - 1925) was an American poet of the imagist school from Brooklyn, Massachusetts, who posthumously won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1926. Though she sometimes wrote sonnets, Lowell was an early adherent to the "free verse" method of poetry. She dispensed with line breaks, so that the work looks like prose on the page. Her book Fir-Flower Poets was a poetical re-working of literal translation of the works of ancient Chinese poets. Her writing also included critical works on French literature. At the time of her death, she was attempting to complete her two-volume biography of John Keats.
