Marianne Moore was an all-time good writer. He had many difficulties but he overcame them. Marianne Craig Moore was born in Kirkwood, Missouri on November 15, 1887. She was the second daughter of John Milton and his wife Mary Warner. John Moore invented a smokeless furnace but failed. He had a mental collapse and was institutionalized before the birth of Marianne, her son, and she never knew him (Parrish 1). Moore grew up in her maternal grandfather's home. Moore spent his first seven years in a loving, close-knit environment. His family encouraged serious reading and had a tolerant attitude towards different religious beliefs (Stone 2). Marianne Moore graduated from the Metzger Institute in 1905. She then went to Bryn Mawr College. She graduated in history, law and political science. Because he loved laboratory courses in biology and histology, he wanted to become a doctor. She graduated in 1909 but did not become a doctor, lawyer or painter as she would have liked. Instead, Moore enrolled in a one-year course at Carlisle Commercial College. After graduation, he began working at the U.S. Industrial Indian School in Carlisle. Marianne and her mother traveled together, visiting cities they had dreamed of and spending hours in art museums. He taught Native American students standard secretarial skills at the Time Book House in Carlisle. He taught there successfully for four years (Parrish 1). He learned decorum and verbal precision from his mother. And Moore had never married (Stone 2). Marianne Moore ranked, together with Emily Dickinson, among the best American poets. Moore crafted his poems superbly. He generally used poetic forms in which the controlling element is the number and arrangement of syllables rather than c...... middle of paper ...... In the late 1960s and early '70, Moore's health was deteriorating due to a series of strokes. He killed her on February 5, 1972 (Bloom 21). On February 5, 1972, Marianne Moore died at the age of 84. A new edition of his “Complete Poems,” with its final revisions, appeared nine years later. Despite life's difficulties, Marianne Moore had a great career as a writer. He has had several awards.
