Marianne Moore (1887-1972) has been heralded as America's greatest
poet of the modernist movement. Her volume Collected Poems won the
National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize in 1952 and the
Bollingen Prize in 1953. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Moore
eventually found her way to New York with her mother whom she
continued to live with until her mother passed, a familial devotion
so intense that William Carlos Williams complained that it was
'pathological' and prevented her from marrying any 'literary guys'.
Moore never married. Linda Leavall is the first biographer to be
granted access and freedom to quote from Moore's archives. More
than just a standard biography, Leavall re-examines Moore's body of
work to complement and enlighten the biography. Through Moore's
poems and letters from T. S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, and
many others, Leavall has written what is sure to be the definitive
biography of Moore.
