Abstrakt: The death of Amy Lowell at fifty-one gives final emphasis to a fact which merely had been indicated by the celebration five years ago of Edward Arlington Robinson's fiftieth birthday, or the celebration this spring of Robert Frost's. The fact is that all the major members of the generation known a dozen years back as the "New Poets" are no longer young. For one person who knew her poetry well there were hundreds who knew that she was substantially fashioned; that she was downright and biting in the expression of her opinions and possessed of a masculine air; and that she was always prompt to argue in defense of her own verse. Those who knew her at anything like first hand appreciated in her an all but fabulous literary energy; and it is this energy which in the long ran will constitute her story.
