Dome of Many-Coloured Glass e-bog

A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass (1912) is a poetry collection by Amy Lowell. Published at the beginning of her career as an influential imagist devoted to classical poetic themes and forms, A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass is an agile and promising work from a pioneering poet of the early twentieth century. Containing lyric poems, sonnets, verses for children, and a masterful long poem, A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass is a vibrant collection from an emerging poet who would come to define the imagist movement throughout her storied career. In poems like "e;Azure and Gold,"e; Lowell displays natural imagery intertwined with the play of words, producing such stanzas as "e;April had covered the hills / With flickering yellows and reds, / The sparkle and coolness of snow / Was blown from the mountain beds."e; From the drama inherent to seasonal change, she extracts a revelation from "e;the song of birds, / Who, swinging unseen under leaves, / Made music more eager than words."e; In "e;The Boston Athenaeum,"e; a masterful long poem on one of the oldest libraries in the United States, she recalls "e;Long, peaceful hours seated on the floor / Of some retired nook, all lined with books, / Where reverie and quiet reign supreme!"e; Personal and public, keenly engaged with tradition while maintaining her own private voice, Lowell's poems are an essential contribution to one of humanity's oldest art forms. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition Amy Lowell's A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass is a classic work of American poetry reimagined for modern readers.
