 The Academy of American Poets - Marianne Moore
Born near St. Louis, Missouri, on November 15, 1887, Marianne Moore was raised in the home of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor.
She wrote with the freedom characteristic of the other modernist poets, often incorporating quotes from other sources into the text, yet her use of language was always extraordinarily condensed and precise, capable of suggesting a variety of ideas and associations within a single, compact image.
In his 1925 essay "Marianne Moore," William Carlos Williams wrote about Moore's signature mode, the vastness of the particular: "So that in looking at some apparently small object, one feels the swirl of great events." She was particularly fond of animals, and much of her imagery is drawn from the natural world.

 dOc DVD Review: Marianne Faithfull: Dreaming My Dreams (1999)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Faithfull, who came to prominence as a British pop singer in 1964, launched a complementary acting career on stage and in film, suffered numerous addiction and relationship problems, regained some visibility as an interpreter of the Kurt Weill songbook in the 1980's, and released a new album of songs about her own life in 1999.
Everyone seems to regard Marianne warmly without glossing over her more difficult times, and this makes for an instructive but non-exploitative take on the artist's life and career.
The audio is generally flat during the interview and archival clips, with surprisingly heavy hiss in one recently-taped segment, but it comes to life musically, especially in the concert section that comprises the last third of the disc, though dynamic range remains somewhat limited throughout.
