Lowell, Amy (1874–1925) US poet and critic, sister of Percival Lowell. Her first volume was the sensuous A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass (1912). Following the exit of Ezra Pound, Lowell became the leader of the imagism movement. Sword Blades and Poppy Seed (1914) was an experiment with ‘polyphonic prose’, or free-verse.
