Lowell's poems have strong expressive force in expressing the changes of the contemporary world, both objectively describing and expressing subjective feelings. His poems fully express the painful experience of living in contemporary American society in a unique way. Whether describing public affairs or personal feelings, there is a tension, full of conflicting images and dissonance, and he thinks that this desolate world needs religious mysticism to help people get rid of it. Its mystery is reflected not only in its loyalty to faith, but also in its moderate suspicion. Lowell's later poems are more soothing and often appear in dialogue and oral form. Lowell's famous confession poem "Skunk Time" describes a sleepless night, accompanied by only his own fears and skunks in the streets. The poem reveals his inner pain and suffering from a deeper personal privacy perspective. In 1977, Lowell died of a heart attack in a taxi in new york.
