This paper takes the form of two imaginary meetings with the resurrected figure of the writer Sylvia Plath, in 1967 and 2007, informed by the work of Lieblich (1997) and Speedy (2005; 2007b). It is loosely based on recollections by Al Alvarez (1974:20–53; 2005:29–33), one of the last people to see Plath alive before her death on 13 February 1967, and from Plath's journals (1983). I have drawn from Plath's autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, the many speculations on Plath's last days that provided material for Wintering (Moses, 2003), and from Birthday Letters (1999) — Ted Hughes' poetry collection concerning his marriage to Sylvia Plath.

Male Dominated

By the end of the twentieth century, Amy Lowell's poetry had been all but erased from modernism, with her name resurfacing only in relation to her dealings with Ezra Pound, her distant kinship with Robert Lowell, or her correspondence with D. H. Lawrence. The tale of how Pound rejected Lowell's Imagism, rebranding his movement as Vorticism and spurning the ‘Amygism’ of Lowell's Some Imagist Poets anthologies (1915–1917), has become something of a modernist myth. Recent critics have begun the project of re-evaluating and ultimately reinstating Lowell, but the extent of her contribution to modernist poetry and poetics – and her influence on other, more popular, twentieth-century writers – has not yet been acknowledged. This essay encourages readers to see the apparitional Lowell, both in the male-dominated world of modernism and in celebrated works by writers that followed. By drawing attention to the weighty impact of Lowell's poetry on Lawrence – and, later, on Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath – I provide compelling reasons not only to revisit Lowell but also to reassess those texts that are haunted by her presence.
