Men, Women and Ghosts
1916
Men, Women and Ghosts is a collection of narrative poems by Amy Lowell, first published in 1916.

“A motor-car cuts a swathe through the bright air, sharp-beaked, irresistible, shouting to the wind to make way.””

“Stippling the white-washed walls with dancing shades and quavers.A bed-post, grown colossal, jigs about the ceiling,And shadows, strangely altered, stain the walls, revealingEagles, and rabbits, and weird faces pulled awry,And hands which fetch and carry things incessantly.””
— Amy Lowell
“Nightmare: A Tale for an Autumn Evening””
