Read Reviews for The Poems of Marianne Moore Write review Michael Smith reviewed The Poems of Marianne Moore on February 10, 2021 The Poems of Marianne Moore Marianne Moore demands a great deal of her readers; much of her work is spare, austere and in many cases nearly impenetrable ' although she seems to have mellowed somewhat in her later years. This is the work of a major intellect and there are a number of poems in this collection that are startlingly cogent and memorable. She is at her best when proclaiming a significant moral or ethical issue. For example: Axiomatic The sinful man Who seeks to bury sin in sacred ground Has surely found That fiends surround him. The sinless man Who dares to publish truth has surely found Though sins abound, None may confound him. And even more compelling: What Are Years What is our existence, what is our guilt? All are naked, none is safe. And whence is courage: the unanswered question, the resolute doubt ' dumbly calling, deafly listening ' that is misfortune, even death, encourages others and in its defeat, stirs the soul to be strong? He sees deep and is glad, who accedes to mortality and in his imprisonment rises upon himself as the sea in a chasm, struggling to be free and unable to be, in its surrendering finds its continuing. So he who strongly feels, behaves. The very bird, grown taller as he sings, steels his form straight up. Though he is captive, his mighty singing stays, satisfaction is a lowly thing, how pure a thing is joy. This is mortality, this is eternity. I find much to admire in Moore's work on an intellectual level. And yet, I find it difficult to feel comfortably "at home" in her poetry the way I do with some other poets that I could categorize as intellectuals (e.g. Anna Akhmatova, a contemporary of Moore or Wm Blake, of an earlier era).
