Robert Lowell is one of the major poets in the modern American poetry world. Among the various poetic tendencies, Lowell is generally considered the leading confessional poet. Robert Lowell’s major work, Life Studies, is a representative of confessional poetry. It deals with the subject of the poet’s private life under the psychological pressure, using the poet- protagonist. In this poetry, Lowell describes his distinctive vision of the relationship of painful world and suffering self. Lowell adopts a comic strategy for Life Studies. The comic character of the work deserves commentary as an effective way of seeing Life Studies. Adopting the seriocomic vein, a comic tone and the rhetorical function is a considerable departure for Lowell. So the comic vein of Life Studies is wry, not full of happy feeling. It is rhetorically well supported, on a theory of the comedy that owes much to Fry and Bergson’s laughter under life’s pressures, desperation, and pain. Therefore, Lowell uses “the mixture of pity and wry humor” describing the figures as thoroughbred mental cases and conducting himself as one of them. Humor extends the private event to a public dimension.
