Robert Traill Spence Lowell IV was an American poet. He was born into a Boston Brahmin family that could trace its origins back to the Mayflower.

Lewis P. Turco is an American poet, teacher, and writer of fiction and non-fiction. Turco is an advocate for Formalist poetry in the United States.
New Formalism is a literary movement in late 20th- and 21st-century American poetry that promotes a return to rhymed, metrical, and narrative poetry. Since the 1980s, New Formalists have argued that American poetry needs to return to rhyme, regular rhythm, more traditional practices of literary translation, and the telling of non-autobiographical stories. Otherwise, they say, poetry will never regain the readership still enjoyed by novels, short stories, and creative nonfiction or regain the vital role poetry once played in American culture. New Formalism is by far the most controversial response within American poetry to the dominant position of free verse and confessional poetry.
