Man who made the difference

Marianne Moore (1887-1972)

Marianne Moore

An American poet, who was born on November 15, 1887, Kirkwood, Missouri, United States and educated at Bryn M. College. From 1925 to 1929 she edited the literary magazine The Dial. She was associated at first with the imagist movement. After, she developed her own verse rhyme patterns. She was, for example, an ardent baseball fan, especially of the Brooklyn Dodgers team, and frequently celebrated this interest in her verse. Rather than dramatic or lyric, her work is reflective and descriptive. Her poetry gives detailed descriptions of animals, landscapes and objects. Moore's works include What Are Years?, The Arctic Ox, O to Be a Dragon, Tell Me, Tell Me. In 1951, she won National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize.

She died on February 5, 1972, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States.
