Victoria Bazin engages with neglected influences on Marianne Moore's poetry such as her preoccupation with consumer culture and the popular press to challenge a view of Moore as disengaged from social issues and the cultures of modernity. Close readings are informed by Bazin's examination of Moore's poetry notebooks reading diaries and correspondence while her profound understanding of the relationship of modernist cultural politics to poetic form uncovers the implied politics of the poems' formal construction.
