Description:
Along with Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore is one of the architects of modern American poetry. The publication of her extensive and broad correspondence is a welcomed event for the light it sheds on her own brilliantly inventive poetry and on the changing face of Western culture through two-thirds of this century.
Expand description
While it may be Moore's poetry that draws us to her letters, what emerges from this volume is an engaging portrait of woman whose interests extended to all the arts, to fashion, sports, and the domestic arts, moving freely between high culture and popular culture, and whose family and friendships remained as important as her professional work. Tracing her life from her college adventures, her travels, her editorship for the modernist publication, The Dial, to her literary fame, The Selected Letters of Marianne Moore record a long life marked by sustained, intellectual vitality.
