Length : Text-only version Prev Index Next Your comments on this poem to attach to the end [ microfaq Four years and counting! Poetry Marianne Moore I was planning to run Dylan Thomas's "Notes on the Art of Poetry" as a fourth anniversary poem, but, although I agreed with everything it had to say, it didn't really *move* me. Moore's "Poetry", on the other hand, did, so here it is. So, what is it about the poem that I so liked? I'm not sure - maybe I just appreciate the exquisite poetry hiding under the matter-of-fact facade (to say nothing of the rigid form (see the commentary on Poem #1043 Poem #1043 : Archibald MacLeish famously wrote: "A poem should not mean But be." I can think of no poet who so consistently fulfils MacLeish's dictum as Marianne Moore. Randall Jarrell talks of "her lack her wonderful lack of arbitrary intensity or violence, of sweep and overwhelmingness and size, of cant, of sociological significance". Her poems simply exist; they "cannot be suborned to any end but their own" [1]. They are elegant and precise; carefully constructed and meticulously detailed; and always, always, wonderfully rewarding. and the paradox falls into clearer focus - today's poem seems to be all about Meaning, but when you step back and take a look at it, it just Is. And, as Thomas noted, few people do that better than Moore. martin p.s. The poems-from-the-movies theme will be back tomorrow - think of this as the intermission.

24. MFA Resources Hilda Doolittle, Lorine Niedecker, Mina Loy, and marianne moore are only a few of the women thus neglected. Only for Loy is an effort under way to remedy http://mason.gmu.edu/~stichy/resourceMoore.htm

Susan Tichy Resources for Students Notes on Texts For several women poets of first importance we still lack authoritative, or even comprehensive, editions of their complete worksthus making serious examinations of their poetry difficult. Hilda Doolittle, Lorine Niedecker, Mina Loy, and Marianne Moore are only a few of the women thus neglected. Only for Loy is an effort under way to remedy the disaster. The sequence of Moore’s 1935 Selected Poems was suggested by T.S. Eliot, who also wrote the introduction. Though Moore deleted some poems from her later Collected Poems (and its revised version, Complete Poems, now the only collection in print) she made only slight changes to the sequence of those that remained. The arrangement is thematic and places several of her poems from the early 1930s first, with poems from 1915 appearing as far as 88 pages into the book . Thus it obliterates all sense of development and obscures differences among Moore’s periods of high poetic production up to 1935. (One argument for containing Moore as a "minor" poet is that she "did not develop.") Though you may not be reading Moore’s poems in strictly chronological order, you will wish to recognize these periods and place her work in the context of contemporary public and private events. The list below includes only the poems I assigned the last time I taught Moore (Fall 2000). When time permits (or hell freezes over, whichever comes first) I will complete the list. What is here should at least allow you to pinpoint the characteristics of each of her most productive periods. The sequence is based on several sources, most prominently Margaret Holley’s “Chronology of Moore’s Published Poems,” in her

Resources Tribute: Marianne Moore Back Bonnie Costello gave the following introduction to the PSA's "Tribute to Marianne Moore" at the Boston Public Library, on November 6, 1997. Henri Cole, James Fenton, and Grace Schulman read at the event. "[H]e who gives quickly gives twice / in nothing so much as in a letter" wrote Marianne Moore in an early poem, "Bowls," about the possibility of precision in an age of rapid transit. Moore's correspondence was prompt but never hurried, and the record of exchangesnot only with family and friends, but with the major writers and artists of her timeis a study in passionate deliberation. Her correspondents included T. S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, Ezra Pound, e.e. cummings, H. D., Elizabeth Bishop, W. H. Auden, and Louise Bogan, and artists such as Alfred Stieglitz and Joseph Cornell. "A cross-section of one's correspondence would seem to imply" the disorder of life, Moore admitted. But in her letters, as in her poetry, we "learn that we are precisionists, / not citizens of Pompeii arrested in action." She could imagine otherwise. Hers was, she would admit, a "grassless, linksless, languageless country" where there were "no proofreaders, no silkworms, no digressions," but the soil was fertile and the excellence of modern art took root in it. In 1915, after some of her poems had been accepted by the avant-garde magazine

30. Marianne Moore Of the great modern American poets, marianne moore is almost certainly the least read. This neglect stems partly from the quirky and difficult nature of her http://www.arlindo-correia.com/160504.html

Marianne Moore INDEX: A Grave Black Earth (com tradução para português) By Disposition of Angels Nevertheless ... What Are Years 'It is better to be forgotten' (Filed: 05/12/2003) Andrew Rosenheim reviews The Poems of Marianne Moore, edited by Grace Schulman Of the great modern American poets, Marianne Moore is almost certainly the least read. This neglect stems partly from the quirky and difficult nature of her work, but also from the lack of a comprehensive edition of her poetry. Earlier "collected" and "complete" editions were compiled by Moore herself and suffered from the fact that she was her own harshest critic. A poem such as "Poetry" was reduced by Moore from its original 30 lines to just three: I, too, dislike it: there are things that are important beyond all this fiddle. Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers in it, after all, a place for the genuine. In this new edition, lovingly compiled by Moore's friend the New York critic Grace Schulman, "Poetry" is restored to its full glory, as are more than 100 poems that Moore had excluded altogether. The result enables us to see what a remarkable body of work she created and how much she has influenced American poetry. Moore began as an Imagist, with a playful taste for the exotic, and the exotically titled – "Polyphonic Craftsman, Coated Like a Zebra, Fleeing Like the Wild Ass, Mourning Like a Dove" is almost as long as the poem itself. But the short poems of her juvenilia soon give way to larger, more ambitious work, much of it written while she was still in her twenties.

Site Navigation Marianne Moore was a superb author who devoted her life to the literary field. Her works won many awards from around the world and in the poem below, she compares her world of writing to the game of baseball. "Assign Yogi Berra to Cape Canaveral; he could handle any missile." - Marianne Moore by Marianne Moore © Published: The Complete Poems of Marianne Moore Fanaticism? No. Writing is exciting and baseball is like writing. You can never tell with either how it will go or what you will do; generating excitement - a fever in the victim - pitcher, catcher, fielder, batter. Victim in what category? Owlman watching from the press box? To whom does it apply? Who is excited? Might it be I? It's a pitcher's battle all the way - a duel - a catcher's, as, with cruel puma paw, Elston Howard lumbers lightly back to plate. (His spring de-winged a bat swing.) They have that killer instinct; yet Elston - whose catching arm has hurt them all with the bat - when questioned, says, unenviously, "I'm very satisfied. We won."

A DAY AT THE ZOO WITH MARIANNE MOORE by moe armstrong Past the front gates of the zoo, I'm reminded of the writing of Marianne Moore. I think of her spirit here in a tricornered hat wandering around collecting poetic sketches. She finds different animals and begins to write her poetic studies of them. She keeps returning to see the animals from different points of view and tacking on additional information she discovers through reading (Schultz, p. 131 -132). I'm left with the memory of her. Here in the zoo, I write my own notes about her and read worn biographical books about her and leaf through her book of complete poems. The ordinary weekend event of going to the zoo has become extraordinary for me through her writing. THE MONKEYS Winked too much and were afraid of snakes. The zebras, supreme in their abnormality; the elephants with their fog-colored skin and strictly practical appendages were there, the small cats; and the parakeet- trivial and humdrum on examination, destroying bark and portions of the food it could not eat.
