Thanks, Wendy!!!!
Very well said. I think you are completely right. Lowell was courageously ahead of her time. She was fearless about her love for Ada and wanted the world to know. As Faderman's essay says: Lowell wrote "the most remarkable, barely encoded, lesbian poems since Sappho.... and had no equal until Adrienne Rich’s sequence Twenty-one Love Poems, which was published in 1976."
