Robertus Traill Spence "Cal"[1] Lowell IV (1 Martii 191712 Septembris 1977) fuit poeta Americanus, in familia Brahmin Bostoniensium natus quae ortum in Mayflower invenire potuit. Familiares, et mortui et vivi, partes magni momenti in suis poematibus egerant. Adolescentia Bostoniae etiam sua poemata informat, quae urbe et regione Nova Anglia saepe innitur.[2]

Lowell adfirmavit: "Poetae qui me directissime moverunt . . . fuerunt Allen Tate, Elizabetha Bishop, et Gulielmus Carolus Williams. Coniunctio non verisimilis! . . . sed videre potest Bishop esse genus pontis inter formalismum Tatianum et artem non formalem Williamsianam."[3][4]

Lowell, postquam librum Life Studies anno 1959 protulerat, qui Nationale Librorum Arbitrium anno 1960 abstulerat et "novam vim ad nimiam infinitamque certaminum personalium, familiarium, psychicorum disceptationem spectantem vehementius dixit,"[5] pars motus poesis confessionalis magni momenti putabatur.[6][7] Multa autem ex suis operibus, quae themata publica et privata miscebant, se ad usitatum poesis confessionalis exemplar non conformabant. Poeta potius variis modis formisque distinctis uti solebat.[7]

Praemium Pulitzeranum pro Poesi annis 1947 et 1974, Nationale Circuli Criticorum Librorum Arbitrium anno 1977, et Arbitrium Instituti Nationalis Artium et Litterarum anno 1947 abstulit. "Late habetur unus ex poetis Americanis maximi momenti aetatis post bellum.[8][7] Biographus Paulus Mariani eum appellavit "poeta-historicus nostri temporis . . . ultimus [Americae] poetarum publicarum qui momento profuit."[9][10]

Lowell Bostoniae Massachusettae natus est, patre Imperatore Roberto Traill Spencer Lowell III, matre Charlotta Winslow. Lowelles fuerunt familia Brahmin Bostoniensium, inter cuius membra notabilia fuerunt Abbott Lawrence Lowell educator et praeses Universitatis Harvardianae; Amy Lowell poetrix; Carolus Russell Lowell maior, clericus, Socius Collegii Harvardiani, unus ex primis abolitionistis Americanis; Carolus Russell Lowell III, generalis Belli Civilis Americani et heros belli, de quo Lowell poema "Charles Russell Lowell: 1835–1864" scripsit; Franciscus Cabot Lowell, qui industriae conversionem in America insigniter promovit; Iacobus Russell Lowell, poeta et legatus; Iulianus Lowell Coolidge, mathematicus et scriptor; Percival Lowell astronomus, qui Plutonem invenit; Robertus Traill Spence Lowell, clericus et professor linguae Latinae.

Inter maiores maternos fuerunt Gulielmus Samuel Johnson, qui Constitutionem Civitatum Foederatarum subscripsit; Ionathan Edwards, theologus Calvinista (de quo Lowell in poematibus "Mr. Edwards and the Spider," "Jonathan Edwards in Western Massachusetts," "After the Surprising Conversions," et "The Worst Sinner" scripsit); Anna Hutchinsonia, praedicator et sanator Puritana; Robertus Livingston, qui inter maiores paternos etiam fuit; Thomas Dudley, alter gubernator Massachusettae colonicae; et Iacobi Chilton et Mariae Chilton filia, vectores in Mayflower. Ambo parentes fuerunt progenies Philippi Livingston, filii Roberti Livingston, quod eos consobrinos sextos fuisse significat.[11]

Lowell, infarctum cordis in taxiraeda Novi Eboraci passus, mortuus est anno 1977, cum iter ad visitandam Elizabetham Hardwick priorem uxorem faceret. Corpus in Coemeterio Stark Dunbartoniae in vico Novae Hantoniae sepultum est.
