confessional poet

Lowell’s poetry has been a long struggle to remove the mask, to make
the speaker unequivocally himself. […] it is hard not to think of
Life Studies as a series of personal confidences, rather shameful, that one is honor-bound not to reveal" (M. L. Rosenthal, The Modern Poets: A Critical Introduction (New York: Oxford University Press, 1960), 226, 231)
