She grew up in the household of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor, her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth.","In 1905, Marianne Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and graduated four years later. A few years on, she began to teach courses at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and continued until 1915, when she began to publish poetry professionally. Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, Poetry, in which she hopes for poets who can produce \"imaginary gardens with real toads in them.\"","In part because of her extensive European travels before the first World War, Moore came to the attention, and received the respect of, poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. (Tricorn hats she liked because they concealed the defects of her head, which, she added, resembled that of a hop toad.) She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammed Ali, to whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes.","Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism. As evidence of her importance, Moore corresponded for a time with W.H. Auden and Ezra Pound during the latter's incarceration.","In 1955, the Ford Motor Company asked Moore to help them name a new model then in development. Moore submitted a list of suggestions that included The Intelligent Whale,The Utopian Turtletop,The Pastelogram, and The Mongoose Civique. The Company decided not to use any of Moore's suggestions and instead named the car the Edsel. The model, having lost Ford $250 million, was discontinued in 1959.","Not too long after throwing the first pitch and opening the 1968 season in Yankee Stadium, Moore suffered a stroke. She suffered a series of subsequent strokes thereafter, and died, unmarried, in 1972.","This collection consists of nine letters and one photograph of Moore.  Moore corresponds with Louis Zufkofsky, Wallace Stevens, William Cole, and Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Waller Barrett.","Returns a piece, regrets that The Dial is unable to publish it.","Thanks him for sending her \"the \n                  William Carlos Williams and the\n                  Reznikoffs\"; says she had already written to Dr.\n                  Williams about them.","Comments on his Owl's Clover in accordance with\n                  request from Poetry magazine; praises it\n                  highly.","Says he has convinced her to join the \n                  Walt Whitman Society of America;\n                  tells him that she and her mother are praying for\n                  unity since both are convinced that the people of the\n                  world are one; feels that \n                  Robert Nathan's poem to \n                  Stephen Vincent Benet makes, or\n                  should make, everyone feel better about life; says\n                  she generally declines to join clubs because of\n                  financial responsibility and necessity to stay with\n                  her ailing mother.","Acknowledges receipt of a list of books of verse\n                  eligible for consideration by the National Book Award\n                  Committee; mentions the publication in the autumn of\n                  the Innocent Throne by\n                  Daniel Berrigan; proposes\n                  Berrigan's books be submitted to the committee;\n                  requests a copy; says she will let him know if she is\n                  favorably impressed by other collections.","Writes to the class at the children's request;\n                  explains poetry and the unnatural effect of some\n                  \"poetry\" to the children; quotes \n                  Abraham Lincoln on clarity of\n                  expression and speech; encourages them to read\n                  enjoyable poems, nothing that seems annoying or\n                  ridiculous; recommends to their teacher \n                  Hugh Kenner's The Art of Poetry and \n                  Poetry Handbook as well as remarks on\n                  poetry by \n                  Babette Deutsch.","Says she is delighted and honored to be invited\n                  to dinner by the Barretts; hope to finally see\n                  \"Monroe\"; says she has seen frail [Elizabeth Shepley?] Sergeantat\n                  the Institute Ceremonial; wonders if \n                  Morton Zabel, currently at \n                  Biltmore Hotel, could be invited\n                  to tea; says she is very impressed with his latest\n                  book The Art of Ruth Draper (1959);\n                  recommends inviting \n                  Murray Hill, lecturing in at \n                  New York University on James,\n                  Conrad, and Dickens.","Treasures the party, the introductions, the\n                  kindness, but especially being seated next to \n                  Robert Frost; remarks that Miss\n                  Sergeant and Mr. Frost \"seemed at peace\"; says she\n                  was allowed to monopolize Miss Sergeant for a long\n                  time in the \"book-room.\"","Thanks them for giving her The Vindication of Christmas with the\n                  benevolent face of \n                  Washington Irving as\n                  frontispiece.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Papers of Marianne Moore \n         1928-1965"],"collection_ssim":["Papers of Marianne Moore \n         1928-1965"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["7127-a"],"unitid_tesim":["7127-a"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["Deposit 1963 Dec 17 and 1965 Sep 14"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"physdesc_tesim":["10 items"],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThere are no restrictions.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n      "],"accessrestrict_heading_ssm":["Access Restrictions"],"accessrestrict_tesim":["There are no restrictions."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMarianne Moore (November 15, 1887-February 5, 1972) was a Modernist American poet and writer.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003e\nMarianne Moore was born in Kirkwood, Missouri, outside of St. Louis, the daughter of a construction engineer and inventor, John Milton Moore, and his wife, Mary Warner.

She grew up in the household of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor, her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth.","In 1905, Marianne Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and graduated four years later. A few years on, she began to teach courses at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and continued until 1915, when she began to publish poetry professionally. Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, Poetry, in which she hopes for poets who can produce \"imaginary gardens with real toads in them.\"","In part because of her extensive European travels before the first World War, Moore came to the attention, and received the respect of, poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. (Tricorn hats she liked because they concealed the defects of her head, which, she added, resembled that of a hop toad.) She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammed Ali, to whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes.","Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism. As evidence of her importance, Moore corresponded for a time with W.H. Auden and Ezra Pound during the latter's incarceration.","In 1955, the Ford Motor Company asked Moore to help them name a new model then in development. Moore submitted a list of suggestions that included The Intelligent Whale,The Utopian Turtletop,The Pastelogram, and The Mongoose Civique. The Company decided not to use any of Moore's suggestions and instead named the car the Edsel.

She grew up in the household of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor, her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth.","In 1905, Marianne Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and graduated four years later. A few years on, she began to teach courses at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and continued until 1915, when she began to publish poetry professionally. Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, Poetry, in which she hopes for poets who can produce \"imaginary gardens with real toads in them.\"","In part because of her extensive European travels before the first World War, Moore came to the attention, and received the respect of, poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. (Tricorn hats she liked because they concealed the defects of her head, which, she added, resembled that of a hop toad.) She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammed Ali, to whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes.","Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism. As evidence of her importance, Moore corresponded for a time with W.H. Auden and Ezra Pound during the latter's incarceration.","In 1955, the Ford Motor Company asked Moore to help them name a new model then in development. Moore submitted a list of suggestions that included The Intelligent Whale,The Utopian Turtletop,The Pastelogram, and The Mongoose Civique. The Company decided not to use any of Moore's suggestions and instead named the car the Edsel. The model, having lost Ford $250 million, was discontinued in 1959.","Not too long after throwing the first pitch and opening the 1968 season in Yankee Stadium, Moore suffered a stroke. She suffered a series of subsequent strokes thereafter, and died, unmarried, in 1972.","This collection consists of nine letters and one photograph of Moore.  Moore corresponds with Louis Zufkofsky, Wallace Stevens, William Cole, and Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Waller Barrett.","Returns a piece, regrets that The Dial is unable to publish it.","Thanks him for sending her \"the \n                  William Carlos Williams and the\n                  Reznikoffs\"; says she had already written to Dr.\n                  Williams about them.","Comments on his Owl's Clover in accordance with\n                  request from Poetry magazine; praises it\n                  highly.","Says he has convinced her to join the \n                  Walt Whitman Society of America;\n                  tells him that she and her mother are praying for\n                  unity since both are convinced that the people of the\n                  world are one; feels that \n                  Robert Nathan's poem to \n                  Stephen Vincent Benet makes, or\n                  should make, everyone feel better about life; says\n                  she generally declines to join clubs because of\n                  financial responsibility and necessity to stay with\n                  her ailing mother.","Acknowledges receipt of a list of books of verse\n                  eligible for consideration by the National Book Award\n                  Committee; mentions the publication in the autumn of\n                  the Innocent Throne by\n                  Daniel Berrigan; proposes\n                  Berrigan's books be submitted to the committee;\n                  requests a copy; says she will let him know if she is\n                  favorably impressed by other collections.","Writes to the class at the children's request;\n                  explains poetry and the unnatural effect of some\n                  \"poetry\" to the children; quotes \n                  Abraham Lincoln on clarity of\n                  expression and speech; encourages them to read\n                  enjoyable poems, nothing that seems annoying or\n                  ridiculous; recommends to their teacher \n                  Hugh Kenner's The Art of Poetry and \n                  Poetry Handbook as well as remarks on\n                  poetry by \n                  Babette Deutsch.","Says she is delighted and honored to be invited\n                  to dinner by the Barretts; hope to finally see\n                  \"Monroe\"; says she has seen frail [Elizabeth Shepley?] Sergeantat\n                  the Institute Ceremonial; wonders if \n                  Morton Zabel, currently at \n                  Biltmore Hotel, could be invited\n                  to tea; says she is very impressed with his latest\n                  book The Art of Ruth Draper (1959);\n                  recommends inviting \n                  Murray Hill, lecturing in at \n                  New York University on James,\n                  Conrad, and Dickens.","Treasures the party, the introductions, the\n                  kindness, but especially being seated next to \n                  Robert Frost; remarks that Miss\n                  Sergeant and Mr. Frost \"seemed at peace\"; says she\n                  was allowed to monopolize Miss Sergeant for a long\n                  time in the \"book-room.\"","Thanks them for giving her The Vindication of Christmas with the\n                  benevolent face of \n                  Washington Irving as\n                  frontispiece.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Papers of Marianne Moore \n         1928-1965"],"collection_ssim":["Papers of Marianne Moore \n         1928-1965"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["7127-a"],"unitid_tesim":["7127-a"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["Deposit 1963 Dec 17 and 1965 Sep 14"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"physdesc_tesim":["10 items"],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThere are no restrictions.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n      "],"accessrestrict_heading_ssm":["Access Restrictions"],"accessrestrict_tesim":["There are no restrictions."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMarianne Moore (November 15, 1887-February 5, 1972) was a Modernist American poet and writer.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003e\nMarianne Moore was born in Kirkwood, Missouri, outside of St. Louis, the daughter of a construction engineer and inventor, John Milton Moore, and his wife, Mary Warner.

She grew up in the household of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor, her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth.","In 1905, Marianne Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and graduated four years later. A few years on, she began to teach courses at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and continued until 1915, when she began to publish poetry professionally. Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, Poetry, in which she hopes for poets who can produce \"imaginary gardens with real toads in them.\"","In part because of her extensive European travels before the first World War, Moore came to the attention, and received the respect of, poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. (Tricorn hats she liked because they concealed the defects of her head, which, she added, resembled that of a hop toad.) She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammed Ali, to whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes.","Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism. As evidence of her importance, Moore corresponded for a time with W.H. Auden and Ezra Pound during the latter's incarceration.","In 1955, the Ford Motor Company asked Moore to help them name a new model then in development. Moore submitted a list of suggestions that included The Intelligent Whale,The Utopian Turtletop,The Pastelogram, and The Mongoose Civique. The Company decided not to use any of Moore's suggestions and instead named the car the Edsel.

She grew up in the household of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor, her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth.","In 1905, Marianne Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and graduated four years later. A few years on, she began to teach courses at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and continued until 1915, when she began to publish poetry professionally. Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, Poetry, in which she hopes for poets who can produce \"imaginary gardens with real toads in them.\"","In part because of her extensive European travels before the first World War, Moore came to the attention, and received the respect of, poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. (Tricorn hats she liked because they concealed the defects of her head, which, she added, resembled that of a hop toad.) She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammed Ali, to whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes.","Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism. As evidence of her importance, Moore corresponded for a time with W.H. Auden and Ezra Pound during the latter's incarceration.","In 1955, the Ford Motor Company asked Moore to help them name a new model then in development. Moore submitted a list of suggestions that included The Intelligent Whale,The Utopian Turtletop,The Pastelogram, and The Mongoose Civique. The Company decided not to use any of Moore's suggestions and instead named the car the Edsel. The model, having lost Ford $250 million, was discontinued in 1959.","Not too long after throwing the first pitch and opening the 1968 season in Yankee Stadium, Moore suffered a stroke. She suffered a series of subsequent strokes thereafter, and died, unmarried, in 1972.","This collection consists of nine letters and one photograph of Moore.  Moore corresponds with Louis Zufkofsky, Wallace Stevens, William Cole, and Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Waller Barrett.","Returns a piece, regrets that The Dial is unable to publish it.","Thanks him for sending her \"the \n                  William Carlos Williams and the\n                  Reznikoffs\"; says she had already written to Dr.\n                  Williams about them.","Comments on his Owl's Clover in accordance with\n                  request from Poetry magazine; praises it\n                  highly.","Says he has convinced her to join the \n                  Walt Whitman Society of America;\n                  tells him that she and her mother are praying for\n                  unity since both are convinced that the people of the\n                  world are one; feels that \n                  Robert Nathan's poem to \n                  Stephen Vincent Benet makes, or\n                  should make, everyone feel better about life; says\n                  she generally declines to join clubs because of\n                  financial responsibility and necessity to stay with\n                  her ailing mother.","Acknowledges receipt of a list of books of verse\n                  eligible for consideration by the National Book Award\n                  Committee; mentions the publication in the autumn of\n                  the Innocent Throne by\n                  Daniel Berrigan; proposes\n                  Berrigan's books be submitted to the committee;\n                  requests a copy; says she will let him know if she is\n                  favorably impressed by other collections.","Writes to the class at the children's request;\n                  explains poetry and the unnatural effect of some\n                  \"poetry\" to the children; quotes \n                  Abraham Lincoln on clarity of\n                  expression and speech; encourages them to read\n                  enjoyable poems, nothing that seems annoying or\n                  ridiculous; recommends to their teacher \n                  Hugh Kenner's The Art of Poetry and \n                  Poetry Handbook as well as remarks on\n                  poetry by \n                  Babette Deutsch.","Says she is delighted and honored to be invited\n                  to dinner by the Barretts; hope to finally see\n                  \"Monroe\"; says she has seen frail [Elizabeth Shepley?] Sergeantat\n                  the Institute Ceremonial; wonders if \n                  Morton Zabel, currently at \n                  Biltmore Hotel, could be invited\n                  to tea; says she is very impressed with his latest\n                  book The Art of Ruth Draper (1959);\n                  recommends inviting \n                  Murray Hill, lecturing in at \n                  New York University on James,\n                  Conrad, and Dickens.","Treasures the party, the introductions, the\n                  kindness, but especially being seated next to \n                  Robert Frost; remarks that Miss\n                  Sergeant and Mr. Frost \"seemed at peace\"; says she\n                  was allowed to monopolize Miss Sergeant for a long\n                  time in the \"book-room.\"","Thanks them for giving her The Vindication of Christmas with the\n                  benevolent face of \n                  Washington Irving as\n                  frontispiece.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Papers of Marianne Moore \n         1928-1965"],"collection_ssim":["Papers of Marianne Moore \n         1928-1965"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["7127-a"],"unitid_tesim":["7127-a"],"repository_ssm":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"repository_ssim":["University of Virginia, Special Collections Dept."],"acqinfo_ssim":["Deposit 1963 Dec 17 and 1965 Sep 14"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"physdesc_tesim":["10 items"],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThere are no restrictions.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n      "],"accessrestrict_heading_ssm":["Access Restrictions"],"accessrestrict_tesim":["There are no restrictions."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMarianne Moore (November 15, 1887-February 5, 1972) was a Modernist American poet and writer.\u003c/p\u003e\n      ","\u003cp\u003e\nMarianne Moore was born in Kirkwood, Missouri, outside of St. Louis, the daughter of a construction engineer and inventor, John Milton Moore, and his wife, Mary Warner.

She grew up in the household of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor, her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth.","In 1905, Marianne Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and graduated four years later. A few years on, she began to teach courses at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and continued until 1915, when she began to publish poetry professionally. Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, Poetry, in which she hopes for poets who can produce \"imaginary gardens with real toads in them.\"","In part because of her extensive European travels before the first World War, Moore came to the attention, and received the respect of, poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. (Tricorn hats she liked because they concealed the defects of her head, which, she added, resembled that of a hop toad.) She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammed Ali, to whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes.","Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism. As evidence of her importance, Moore corresponded for a time with W.H. Auden and Ezra Pound during the latter's incarceration.","In 1955, the Ford Motor Company asked Moore to help them name a new model then in development.

She grew up in the household of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor, her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth.","In 1905, Marianne Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and graduated four years later. A few years on, she began to teach courses at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and continued until 1915, when she began to publish poetry professionally. Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, Poetry, in which she hopes for poets who can produce \"imaginary gardens with real toads in them.\"","In part because of her extensive European travels before the first World War, Moore came to the attention, and received the respect of, poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. (Tricorn hats she liked because they concealed the defects of her head, which, she added, resembled that of a hop toad.) She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammed Ali, to whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes.","Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism. As evidence of her importance, Moore corresponded for a time with W.H. Auden and Ezra Pound during the latter's incarceration.","In 1955, the Ford Motor Company asked Moore to help them name a new model then in development. Moore submitted a list of suggestions that included The Intelligent Whale,The Utopian Turtletop,The Pastelogram, and The Mongoose Civique. The Company decided not to use any of Moore's suggestions and instead named the car the Edsel. The model, having lost Ford $250 million, was discontinued in 1959.","Not too long after throwing the first pitch and opening the 1968 season in Yankee Stadium, Moore suffered a stroke. She suffered a series of subsequent strokes thereafter, and died, unmarried, in 1972.","This collection consists of three typed manuscripts and a letter by Moore to \"Marshall.\"","Encloses two dollars for the paper edition of The Country of\nthe Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett, the Maine writer, whom she greatly\n                  admires; reports on her illness from overwork, too\n                  many letters to answer, and her hospital stay for a\n                  month and a half; pleads with him to \"neglect\" her in\n                  the future by not writing letters, she might not have\n                  to answer.

She grew up in the household of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor, her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth.","In 1905, Marianne Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and graduated four years later. A few years on, she began to teach courses at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and continued until 1915, when she began to publish poetry professionally. Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, Poetry, in which she hopes for poets who can produce \"imaginary gardens with real toads in them.\"","In part because of her extensive European travels before the first World War, Moore came to the attention, and received the respect of, poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. (Tricorn hats she liked because they concealed the defects of her head, which, she added, resembled that of a hop toad.) She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammed Ali, to whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes.","Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism.

She grew up in the household of her grandfather, a Presbyterian pastor, her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth.","In 1905, Marianne Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and graduated four years later. A few years on, she began to teach courses at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and continued until 1915, when she began to publish poetry professionally. Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, Poetry, in which she hopes for poets who can produce \"imaginary gardens with real toads in them.\"","In part because of her extensive European travels before the first World War, Moore came to the attention, and received the respect of, poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. (Tricorn hats she liked because they concealed the defects of her head, which, she added, resembled that of a hop toad.) She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammed Ali, to whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes.","Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism. As evidence of her importance, Moore corresponded for a time with W.H. Auden and Ezra Pound during the latter's incarceration.","In 1955, the Ford Motor Company asked Moore to help them name a new model then in development. Moore submitted a list of suggestions that included The Intelligent Whale,The Utopian Turtletop,The Pastelogram, and The Mongoose Civique. The Company decided not to use any of Moore's suggestions and instead named the car the Edsel. The model, having lost Ford $250 million, was discontinued in 1959.","Not too long after throwing the first pitch and opening the 1968 season in Yankee Stadium, Moore suffered a stroke. She suffered a series of subsequent strokes thereafter, and died, unmarried, in 1972.","This collection consists of three typed manuscripts and a letter by Moore to \"Marshall.\"","Encloses two dollars for the paper edition of The Country of\nthe Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett, the Maine writer, whom she greatly\n                  admires; reports on her illness from overwork, too\n                  many letters to answer, and her hospital stay for a\n                  month and a half; pleads with him to \"neglect\" her in\n                  the future by not writing letters, she might not have\n                  to answer.

S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg, and publishing, as well as refining poetic technique, early work.","In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. After being awarded these prizes, she began to be a kind of minor celebrity, at least in New York literary circles. Moore often served as unofficial hostess for the Mayor.
