		The geographical life-journey of Marianne Moore is from west to east, from a Midwest suburb of St Louis, Missouri, where she was born in 1887, to New York, where she spent most of her active literary life.
		Moore thus spent her early childhood in a climate of Christian observance and morality that can be traced in the ethical sensibilities of her adult poetry.
		Moore's poems in an Others anthology were reviewed by Ezra Pound in London in 1918: he saw in her work “poetry that is akin to nothing but language”, a poetry that is distinctively American and which “could not have come out of any other country”.

		Schulman's long-anticipated volume presents, for the first time, the full span of Moore's work, from her flirtatious, tangy collegiate light verse, through a trove of promising poems from the 1910s, and including masterpieces that for decades were available only in libraries.
		Moore's careful ethics and elaborately arranged stanzas seem almost more relevant to contemporary poetry than they did to poets of her own generation, though Schulman, a poet herself and the poetry editor of the Nation, perhaps overstates Moore's influence in an awestruck introduction.
		More than 30 years after her death, Marianne Moore continues to be one of America's best-loved poets, and is now regarded as one of the most significant and influential voices of the 20th century.

		If at Bishop's "party for writers and artists" it nets Moore the flattering recognition of her peers, in Kreymborg's story it functions more aggressively: her "battalions" of ideas and "columns" of periods sound like the talk of someone who is out of her element but in no mood to surrender to unfamiliarity.

	Marianne Moore (1887-1972)
		With Moore, it is useful to observe that she seeks accuracy of statement, that the alleged difficulty of her work does not arise from abstruse symbolism or reference to obscure autobiographical matters, but from precision: seeking exact presentation, she does not fall back on expected phrasings.
		The fact that though there is usually a "moral" point in a Moore poem, the overall aim is aesthetic: The moral is to contribute to the delight, not to dominate it.
		Moore, indeed, once remarked that only two or three American women have "even tried" to write poetry--meaning, one may be sure, Emily Dickinson and herself.
