Poet
Robert Lowell
Jailed as a conscientious objector in 1943, and later the central figure of confessional poetry. He lived with severe bipolar disorder for thirty years.
Robert Traill Spence Lowell IV was an American poet. He was born into a Boston Brahmin family that could trace its origins back to the Mayflower. His ancestors and contemporary family were important subjects in his poetry. Growing up in Boston also informed his poems, which were frequently set in Boston and the New England region. Literary scholar Paula Hayes argues that, particularly in his early work, Lowell mythologized New England.
