Sword Blades and Poppy Seed (1914) 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, 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.
