	PSA Journal: Tributes: Marianne Moore
		Moore's correspondence was prompt but never hurried, and the record of exchanges--not only with family and friends, but with the major writers and artists of her time--is a study in passionate deliberation.
		Marianne Craig Moore, who died in 1972 at the age of eighty-five, was one of the major poets of the Modernist era, celebrated by her contemporaries as a supreme inventor and precisionist who could, indeed, meet her own high measure of poetry.
		Moore was Bishop's first important supporter, offering discerning advice on all sorts of subjects--cures for poison ivy, household cleaners, prosody, propriety, profundity--and encouraging her not to give up or divert her talents (Bishop was considering medical school in 1936).

	MSN Encarta - Marianne Moore
		Moore, Marianne (Craig) (1887-1972), American poet, noted for using the stanza as the basic unit of her poetry.
		She was associated at first with the imagist movement (see Imagism), but she later developed her own rhyme patterns and verse forms using the arrangement of syllables, rather than conventional stress patterns, as the base for her meter (see Versification).
		Moore's translation of Fables by the French author Jean de la Fontaine appeared in 1954, and Predilections (a book on her favorite writers) appeared in 1955.

	Marianne Moore's Life and Career
		Moore's mother became a housekeeper for John Riddle Warner, her father, an, affectionate, well-read Presbyterian pastor in Kirkwood, until his death in 1894.
		Much--perhaps too much--has been made of Moore's later casual assertion that laboratory studies in biology and histology caused her to consider studying medicine; at any rate, one result of such work was her love of intricately shaped animals and also a lifelong respect for precision in description.
		Moore has proved to be an engaging puzzle, not only to critics of her time but to later ones as well.

	Moore Coat of Arms
		The surname Moore was brought into Ireland after the Strongbow invasion of the 12th century.
		First found in Leicestershire, where the family was seated from early times; their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
		Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Ann Moore, who arrived in Virginia in 1651; Miles Moor, who settled in South Carolina in 1716; James Mooers, and his wife Isabel, who came to New Hampshire in 1725.

	Marianne Moore
		Yet, like Wallace Stevens, Moore was never content with the dictum of their contemporary William Carlos Williams, "no ideas but in things", and despite her poems' emphasis on the particular, she is as much concerned with the poet's own power to invent a world as with reporting on the world that already exists.
		A resident of Brooklyn for virtually all her adult life, Moore was a passionate baseball fan, and her sports poems and friendship with the young versifier (and heavyweight champion) Muhammad Ali helped to make her a poet celebrity (she was even asked by the Ford Motor Company to supply names for a new car model).
		The Moore who revised "Poetry" in 1951, and the even older poet who cut it to a mere three lines in 1967, was long ensconced in her adopted Brooklyn, a minor celebrity noted by Time and Life for her ornate hats and her interest in baseball, and a reliable Republican.

	Moore, Marianne
		Marianne Craig Moore was born on November 15, 1887, in St. Louis, Missouri.
		After 1919, living in Brooklyn, New York, with her mother, Moore devoted herself to writing, contributing poetry and criticism to many journals in the United States and England.
		These initial collections exhibited Moore's conciseness and her ability to create a mosaic of juxtaposed images that lead unerringly to a conclusion that, at its best, is both surprising and inevitable.

	American-Lit: Marianne Moore and the Ford Motor Company
		American poet Marianne Craig Moore was born on November 15, 1887, in St. Louis, Mo. From 1905 to 1909, she attended Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, where she began to write poetry in earnest.
		In this position, she was able to advance the standing of Advant Garde arts in the U.S., although she gained a reputation for being highly particular in her selections for the magazine and sometimes drastically altering those poems she chose.
		In the early 1960's, Moore began to suffer the pressures of age, and may have had a minor stroke, noting to a friend, "Nearly every word I write now lacks a final letter." Still, she remained much in demand.

	American Literature Web Resources: Marinanne Moore
		Marianne Moore was considered an inventive modernist, greatly admired by other poets of her time.
		She kept her language extraordinarily condensed and precise but she used elaborate verse patterns with odd rhyme schemes to create complex and subtle effects in her work and counterpoint her “unbearable accuracy” of language.
		Moore was famous for describing the imagination of poetry as having “imaginary gardens with real toads in them.” Though she was considered the “poet’s poet” because of her complicated techniques, Moore also wrote a great deal of prose and chastised poets for their neglect of the writing style.
