{"product_id":"new-collected-poems-of-marianne-moore-1","title":"New Collected Poems of Marianne Moore","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring her lifetime Marianne Moore was that rarest of combinations, a genuine leader in the art of poetry, as well as a bona fide celebrity. She was an instantly recognisable symbol of Brooklyn, New York, appearing on the cover of \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, asked by the Ford Motor Company to christen their new family sedan, and by the New York Yankees to throw the opening pitch of their baseball season. However, because of Moore's restless, seldom-ceasing, decade-spanning revision of her own poems, creating a 'stable' text of her work has posed editors a challenge ever since. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoore tackled the problem herself: \u003ci\u003eComplete Poems \u003c\/i\u003e(1967) was her own selection, but she favoured the later work, including less than half of her output up to that point. 'Omissions are not accidents,' she wrote pointedly in that edition, but for some readers the absence of more than one hundred poems constituted a wilful neglect of her startlingly innovative, highly influential early work, and contributed to Moore's undervaluing as a 'modernist' poet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarianne Moore scholar Heather Cass White has prepared an edition of poems that, for the first time, presents the full range of Moore's work in its published order, while honouring the complex textual lives of the poems. With an inviting introduction and meticulous notes, the \u003ci\u003eNew Collected Poems of Marianne Moore\u003c\/i\u003e is the first definitive text of this most celebrated writer, whose poems form part, as T. S. Eliot declared, of 'the small body of durable poetry written in our time'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39479830610003,"sku":"","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780571315345_3da2e88e-fa32-40c8-8ba5-15df1afa0ea6.jpg?v=1780113648","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/new-collected-poems-of-marianne-moore-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
