Complete Poems

"Modern criticism has held Marianne Moore in such high esteem that one can hardly get to the poems in her present volume for the glove-kissing gallantries on the dust-jacket. The array of advertisements is led by T.S. Eliot's old and misleading decree about the durability of her poems and her contribution to the English language, and is seconded by W.H. Auden and a half-dozen other serious admirers....In a very real sense, Miss Moore is a creature of T.S. Eliot and is his only American disciple. Her poetry belongs to that decade of long ago when Eliot and Pound captured poetry and criticism and turned them into a private enterprise known as Modern Poetry."Moore, Marianne is the author of 'Complete Poems', published 1994 under ISBN 9780140188516 and ISBN 0140188517.
