Observations by Marianne Moore

joelle's review against another edition

Although this is a fairly short collection, I read through it extremely slowly. A Modernist poet who is often grouped together with the likes of T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, Moore's language is beautifully precise and deliberate, and at times frustratingly opaque. The title is perfect.

Giving this only two stars makes me feel absolutely brutal but the truth is I didn't understand a lot of these poems and the paragraph spacing really threw me off. There's some interesting stuff in here but overall it just wasn't for me.
