4 years ago Hello All,
I hope everyone had a great holiday.
From my perspective, opening page should be the introduction about this project, including briefly who Amy Lowell is, why her letters are important, why we do this project, and what goal of this project is, etc. In the about page, there should be other information (even something about Loyola English department.) For my project, in the about page, I introduced May Weber Collection, ethnic minority textiles, digitization tools, and website design.
Best, Bill

Hello, Before I ask Bill to add the following content to the wireframe on the opening page, let me know if you have any suggestions or additions. I tried to keep this concise, yet interesting, as this is the first thing people will see when they come to the site. (I am imagining this as the opening page, but am not sure how that is different from the About page.)
The Amy Lowell Letters Project is an open-access, digital scholarly edition of the letters of American poet, editor, and critic Amy Lowell (1874–1925). Phase one of this project focuses on those letters related to her career as a powerful, polarizing, and influential figure in Anglo-American modern poetry, circa 1910-1925. Future phases will include letters relating to her work as a rare book and manuscript collector, and her two-volume biography of John Keats (1925).
Earnest, often funny, and bristling with provocations, Lowell’s letters reveal the many roles she played in the stormy creation and promotion of modernist poetics. Poet, editor, critic, and de facto literary agent, involved in everything from designing book covers, to writing ad copy, advising marketing plans, and negotiating royalties, Lowell had a huge network of correspondents. Her letters show her talking to—sometimes arguing with—the most prominent writers and publishers of her time. They reveal the labor behind modern poetry as we understand it today: the queries, submissions, revisions, rejections, referrals, introductions, invitations, disagreements, collaborations, and financial transactions that bridge artistic creation and public consumption.
