Home After Three Months Away
'Home After Three Months Away' is one of several "confessional" poems by Robert Lowell which appeared in his book ''Life Studies''.
==Background==
The poem was written after Lowell started returning home for weekends from the McLean Hospital, where he was being treated for mental illness, in Belmont, Boston in early 1958.〔Hamilton, pages 252 – 254〕 Lowell was finally released from McLean in June 1959.〔Hamilton, page 274〕
Ian Hamilton, who wrote a biography on Lowell, suggests that the poem owes something to W.D. Snodgrass' poem "Heart's Needle" since "Heart's Needle," which came out prior to ''Life Studies'', focused on Snodgrass' relationship with his child. Although "Home After Three Months Away" is really about Lowell's struggle to recover from a mental breakdown, the narrative of the poem focuses on his relationship with his daughter, Harriet.〔Hamilton, page 254.〕
