Introduction: Moore was born in 1887. 1909 graduated from the biology department of Brynmore College in Pennsylvania, then transferred to business, and taught at Carlisle College of American Indian University. From 19 15, Moore began to publish poems in the literary journals Egoist and Poetry. After 19 19, Moore lived with his mother in Brooklyn, new york, and devoted himself to poetry creation and criticism. 192 1 year, her first collection of poems was published in London. 1924, Moore published her second collection of poems, Observation.
From 1925 to 1929, he was the editor of the famous literary magazine Dial. From 65438 to 0935, Moore published poems. This collection of poems contains previous poems and adds new works. Eliot prefaced Selected Poems, which established Moore's position in modern poetry.
Because he graduated from the biology department in his early years, Moore has a keen feeling as a painter. She has a careful observation of the objective world, especially the animal world. Animals often become the source of inspiration for Moore's creation, so Moore is regarded as a born poet. Moore conveys his views on morality and poetics through accurate, meticulous and meticulous observation of details. Moore can be regarded as a faithful practitioner of Eliot's poetic thought. In her creation, she abandons her personal tendency, chooses exquisite and eccentric images, and is good at combining visual effects with various rhetorical devices. Because of the impersonality of poetry, Moore's poems are very neutral and almost have no feminine color. Many critics use masculinity to describe Moore's poems.
Marital status Moore has never been married. Her life can be divided into two stages. Before her mother died from 65438 to 0947, she was a poet. After that, she was more like a social butterfly. With the growth of fame, various awards have poured in. Moore used to be a shy housewife poet, but now he attends various public parties; Interview on TV; Even in the baseball season, with thousands of fans watching, he threw the first ball for the new york Yankees. Moore also received visiting guests as an informal hostess of New York City Hall. As for poetry, although there are still creations, what is more striking is her constant revision. Moore's famous poem "Poetry under Observation" has 29 lines-she takes poetry as the topic-when The Complete Poems was published in 1967, it was deleted to only 3 lines. Many poems have become shallow. In this way, Moore has changed from a modernist poet "saint" who disdains low taste to an old poetess who parades around the city wearing a unique triangular hat and receives honorary degrees everywhere.
However, for Moore's sake, it was not easy for her. She was born in a boudoir and grew up in the hands of a woman, but she met the modernist "Three Musketeers". The "Three Musketeers" were1romantics in the late 9th century thought that English poetry was too girly, and they wanted to revive the glory of poetry and shout in the "wasteland". What is the mood of a new woman who is about to enter the poetry world? Like contemporary feminists, she can't write comments on The New York Times and accuse them of "sexism". Then the magazine edited by Moore, the promoter took a fancy to her again and divorced his wife. Moore's escape from Manhattan seems to have something to do with this. Except for thirteen years in new york, Moore could only talk about art with his mother until she died at the age of 60. Her mother is very cultured, gets along with her day and night and understands her thoughts. It is no problem for Moore to write some difficult modern poems. After her mother died, lonely Moore wanted to leave her home and psychologically compensate for the expansion of a lost family, so she had to make her poems more popular. She can talk about baseball with others; But some people want to be arty and ask her poems. Moore is a shy man, but he is not good at refusing.
Moore's contemporaries felt sorry for her old age. But for the younger generation of scholars now, these are all history, and there is no longer a big emotional reaction. Moore's reputation should be reexamined. This re-examination, especially the study of her early poems written in the 1920s, may reveal that Moore's position in the history of literature is equal to that of the "Three Musketeers". Perhaps more people will agree with John Ashberry, an American poet younger than Moore: I have to say that she is our most outstanding modernist poet.
