Lowell gathers her story-poems of 1916: tales told in free verse and in the ‘polyphonic prose’ she pioneered. Here is ‘Patterns’, the monologue of a woman in a formal garden who has just learned her fiancé was killed in battle, alongside ‘The Cremona Violin’, ‘Pickthorn Manor’, Napoleon at ‘Malmaison’ and a closing group of war pictures.
