Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only because
there was no other name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that happen
to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subjects were varied: animals, laborers, artists, and the
craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or insightful. She
included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks, and sometimes identified in
footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote, "Why many quotation marks?" I am asked ... When a thing has
been so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my writing is, if not a cabinet of
fossils, a kind of collection of flies in amber." Close observation and concentration on detail and the
methods of her poetry. Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Lois. After graduation
from Bryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania. Later she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s she was editor of The
Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life, mostly in Brooklyn,
New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals. Her admiration of the
Brooklyn Dodgers-before the team moved to Los Angeles-was widely known.

Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends associated with
the Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with interest by succeeding
generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems.

Who talk more men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a
stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more in private situations, where they
use conversation as the glue to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public
situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that
we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend", their play

includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more
doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversations between children aged 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents
talk very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that
parents use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use
more descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially with
daughters than with sons.

to strengthen interpersonal connections.
