Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
There are few poets whose complete prose one would want to own. Yet in this fat volume of over 400 pieces, written between 1907 and 1972 roughly half when Moore was a writer for and later the editor of the prestigious magazine Dialthere's not one piece that doesn't arrest by virtue of its perspicacity, intensity and extraordinary compactness of expression. There are long reviews of such major contemporary poets as Yeats, Pound, Eliot, Williams, Cummings and Auden, plus one on Henry James; essays on a wide variety of topics including philosophy, biography, painting, linguistics and anything that caught Moore's interest, from fashion to the circus; short reviews and "notices" of books; and a bit of fiction. The hallmarks of Moore's critical style are a brilliant use of quotation, an unfailing responsiveness to the subtleties of poetic sound and sense, and an almost constant ability to surprise. This is the prose work of a poet who was, as she put it, "incurably interested in writing" and addicted to its element of "personal adventure."

From Library Journal
Except for letters, interviews, quotations, and material she herself did not see to press, this book includes all of Moore's published prose. The editor arranges items in four sections by chronological order"The Early Years," "The Dial," "The Middle Years," and "The Later Years"and places shorter works like letters to the editor, dust jacket blurbs, booklists, questionnaires, and other shorter works in an appendix. Moore's end notes are included, and place and date of publication are given for each item. Readers of Moore's poetry will be delighted to discover in this collection a writer who charms by the purity of her prose as well as by the scope of her interests and the penetration of her perceptions. Recommended for general and for literary collections. Walter Waring, Professor Emeritus, English Dept., Kalamazoo Coll., Mich.
