A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass (Hardcover)

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 "Azure and Gold," Lowell displays natural imagery intertwined with the play of words, producing such stanzas as "April had covered the hills / With flickering yellows and reds, / The sparkle and coolness of snow / Was blown from the mountain beds." From the drama inherent to seasonal change, she extracts a revelation from "the song of birds, / Who, swinging unseen under leaves, / Made music more eager than words." In "The Boston Athenaeum," a masterful long poem on one of the oldest libraries in the United States, she recalls "Long, peaceful hours seated on the floor / Of some retired nook, all lined with books, / Where reverie and quiet reign supreme!" 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.
