This is a 1917 study of ‘New Poetry’—a movement created by the “welding together of the whole country which the war has brought about.” Included are chapters on Edwin Arlington Robinson, Robert Frost, Edgar Lee Masters and Carl Sandburg, as well as the Imagist poets H. D. and John Gould Fletcher, accompanied by selections of their poems and close critical analyses by Lowell.

Her best-known collections of poems were A Dome of Many-Colored Glass (1912), Pictures of the Floating World (1919), and What’s O’Clock (1925).
