Until now, there has been no good vantage point from which to see the body of her remarkable work as a whole. Throughout her life, Moore arranged and rearranged, visited and revisited, a large majority of her existing poetry, interspersing new work among old, and continually revising even her best-known poems. As a result, sorting out the complex textual history that she left behind is a pressing task if we mean to represent the complete picture of her work as a poet. \u003cem\u003eNew Collected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e undertakes that work, providing a newly accurate portrait of Moore's skilful and singular voice, and of the modernist culture she helped create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWilliam Carlos Williams, remarking on the impeccable precision of her poems, found in them \"the aesthetic pleasure engendered when pure craftsmanship joins hard surfaces skilfully.\" It is only in \u003cem\u003eNew Collected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e that we can read Moore's work as Williams and many other illustrious admirers knew it. Edited by Heather Cass White, one of the foremost scholars of Moore's work, this new collection at last allows readers to experience the full force of these dazzling poems as the author originally envisioned them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48243349618924,"sku":"9780374537746","price":61.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6a851c247ec2dcba8fc6d88cb1a4f97b.jpg?v=1788148365","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/new-collected-poems-by-marianne-moore-9780374537746","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
