Robert Lowell was known not only as a great poet but also as a
writer whose devotion to his art came at a tremendous personal
cost. In this work, his third on Robert Lowell, Jeffrey Meyers
examines the poet's impassioned, fraught relationships with the key
women in his life, including his mother, Charlotte Winslow Lowell;
his three wives -- Jean Stafford, Elizabeth Hardwick, and Caroline
Blackwood; nine of his many lovers; his close women friends -- Mary
McCarthy, Elizabeth Bishop, and Adrienne Rich; and his most
talented students, Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath.Lowell's
charismatic personality and compelling poetry attracted lovers and
friends who were both frightened and excited by his aura of
brilliance and danger. He loved the idea of falling in love, and in
his recurring manic episodes he needed women at the center of his
emotional and artistic life. While he idealized his loves and
encouraged their talents, he never fully grasped his wives' and
lovers' deepest needs and feelings, and his frenetic affairs and
tortured marriages were always conducted entirely on his own terms.
Robert Lowell in Love tells the story of the poet in the grip of
love and gives voice to the women who loved him, inspired his
poetry, and suffered along with him.
