Robert Lowell, Poet with a Mind on Fire
<p>ROBERT LOWELL was born in Boston in 1917 as Robert Traill Spence Lowell IV, and raised at 91 Revere Street on Beacon Hill. He wrote poetry about big subjects, and coined striking lines and phrases. Often deeply depressed, sometimes ecstatic, he bravely — almost brutally — shared some of his deepest feelings. He found the writing of poetry to be both a torment and a great vocation, and made himself one of the great poets of the 20th century.</p>
