Published at the beginning of her career as an influential imagist devoted to classical poetic themes and forms, Sword Blades and Poppy Seed is an agile and promising work from a pioneering poet of the early twentieth century. The title poem of Lowell's collection is an imaginative voyage into the mind of a poet struggling with writer's block, who scans the city for "the slightest tinge of gold" to no avail: "From time to time I wrote a word / Which lines and circles overscored. / My table seemed a graveyard, full / Of coffins waiting burial." Disgusted with her inability to write anything meaningful, she takes the streets, encountering a strange old man-part poppy dealer, part devil-who offers success in exchange for the poet's soul. Personal and public, keenly engaged with tradition-the Faustian legend, in particular-while maintaining her own private voice, Lowell's poems are an essential contribution to one of humanity's oldest art forms. Sword Blades and Poppy Seed is a vibrant collection from an emerging poet who would come to define the imagist movement throughout her storied career. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition Amy Lowell's Sword Blades and Poppy Seed is a classic work of American poetry reimagined for modern readers.
