Amy Lowell (1874-1925) was born in Massachusetts to a prominent local family. She was thirty-eight when she published her first book of poetry in 1912, which was well recieved and was a popular success. Up until then she had been largely concerned with looking after her elderly parents, while pursueing her poetry as something of a sideline. Around this time (1913) she also became a leading promoter of the Imagist movement in England, where she travelled to following the publication of some imagist poetry in a leading poetry journal of the day. She was responsible for numerous anthologies and other works that discussed the movement until her death. Amy's book, What's O'Clock, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1926, a year after her death.
