Abstract
This paper analyzes Moore's poetic style, choice of wording, use of visual imagery and influences in her poem "Poetry" and explains that the poem is really about her feelings that the poetry popular during her time was insincere and dishonest.
From the Paper
"Marianne Moore's well-known poem, Poetry, follows in her typical literary style. She is known for her trite, strong and exacting wording and Poetry is written along the same vein. She begins in an almost offhand manner with "I too, dislike it" (Moore) as if to put the reader at ease, telling them that she is not taking her life's work too seriously. Yet Moore is merely mocking her readers because she is quite serious about her criticism that is to follow. "

Abstract
A paper which analyzes "Poetry" by Marianne Moore, beginning with an interpretation of its famous first line, "I too, dislike it". The paper also draws a comparison between "Poetry" and Wallace Stevens' "Of Modern Poetry".
From the Paper
"By reading these two great poems by these modern poets, the reader can relate to and understand the concepts behind what 'modern poetry' is all about. These two poems are totally different from each other, while their names are so much similar. The main reasons for the differences in content are obvious but the similarity of the names does throw a person off. Moore writes about the pseudo poets while Stevens' poem speaks about the passions of the human mind."

From the Paper
"Marianne Moore is a rare combination of 'poet's poet' and advice-giving moralist. Moore was always admired by a select group of modern poets, but she was often misunderstood and unintelligible to the average reader. Critics frequently believed that Moore's poetry dealt with inconsequential topics. However, as was often the situation, many critics did not understand her poetry either. There is much more philosophy in Moore's poetry than many of her critics ever imagined. In fact, it would be difficult to appreciate Moore's poetry without comprehending its philosophical depths and epistemological approaches.
Concerning Moore's prosody, her poetry is neither free verse nor accented rhythms. Her model is French. The words in Moore's ... "

Abstract
Nature is a source of inspiration for the poet, and nature is used for its imagery, for its symbolic meaning, and for its role as a powerful force in human life. Nature was elevated to a high position by the Romantic poets, but poets before that time used nature as well. Many poets show a particular affinity for nature, tending to delve into it as an example of fertility, a connection with the infinite, a symbol of human sexuality, and so on.

From the Paper
"Marianne Moore's metrical and linguistic complexity is evident in her poem "The Fish." The title of the poem bleeds directly into the first line to create an opening sentence: "The Fish/ wade/ through black fade." Moore often uses this technique to make the title part of the poem and to set it apart as a symbolic image of all that will follow. Similarly, the end of each stanza remains open, bleeding directly into the beginning of the next stanza. the entire poem is therefore interconnected, as if part of a larger unit. Critic Charles Molesworth identifies the poem as one of Moore's more complicated and says it shows a particular interest of hers: "Moore was very interested in the intersection between nature and culture" (Burgess)."

The Last Poem, 2002.
This paper discusses the essays of poets, Marianne Moore in "Poetry" and Rafael Campo in "The Next Poem Could Be Your Last", about the justification of poetry in the modern world.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Campo?s belief that poetry makes such spare and vital use of language, the metaphorical associations and connections of language to communicate in an economical and elemental level and Moore?s suggestion that because poetry constantly seeks to justify itself and its existence, that is why it is so important. The paper author believes that without poetry, the next poem may be ?your last,? not just because of a death of the body, but a death of the writing and more importantly, the living soul.
From the Paper
"In contrast to Campo?s later work, Moore?s poem is a more thoughtful claim for the importance of poetry, although she does assert the importance of poetry eventually over the course of her poem, most forcefully in the last stanza. She is, however, a bit more coy and subtle in her argumentation and poetic suggestion than ?The Next Poem May be Your Last? author. Regardless, her poem and the argumentative structure of her poem, like Campo?s, can be read as an example of a kind of metapoetry. Metapoetry, like metafiction, could be said to be a kind of verse that is a musing and a discourse over the nature of poetic structure itself."

Abstract
This paper explains that Lorrie Moore expertly uses her humor to provide readers with an in-depth look at character identity. The author points out that Moore is mostly known for her short stories, which rely on a clever play of words, irony and sardonic black humor that normally hides the characters' underlying sorrow or traumatic experiences.

"However, under the laughs and guffaws in "How to Be a Writer" is the woman who is attempting to be taken seriously as an author and make her way in an occupation that is treacherous at best and deadly at worst. As all writers do, Francie begins to look at her own abilities. Here Moore once again shows the underlying search for identity. Francie begins to doubt her own worth as a writer: "Begin to wonder what you do write about. Or if you have anything to say. Or if there is even such a thing as a thing to say. Limit these thoughts to no more than ten...""

Abstract
This paper explains that poetry is a tool to stimulate creative problem solving, build an ability for creative expression, help a child develop literacy skills, and learn other subjects through the imaginative, resourceful use of poetry. The author points out that a 'persona poem' is a poem that is written in the first person; the writer imagines that he or she is an animal, a movie star, a politician, or anything or anyone he or she is not. The paper stresses that innovation and doing the unexpected are extremely important for elementary school teachers when coaxing students to love and use poetry throughout their curricula.

"To move to another area of study, math; the student could write a persona poem pretending to be Albert Einstein?s pencil sharpener. Imagine all the work that sharpener must do ? since Einstein was said to go through a number of pencils each day during his mathematical research and formula writing ? and imagine all the grinding sounds and shavings, too. Or, alternatively, what would it be like to be the number ?1?? Would that be a grand feeling of winning (?number one? can mean the best, the first, the top choice), or would being ?number one? seem like a person had a long way to go to get to ?50??"

Nostalgia in Romantic Poetry, 1996.
An examination of the use of nostalgia in the poetry of the romantic era (1768 - 1839), focusing in particular on the poetry of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Abstract
This paper argues that nostalgia in poetry can be considered a particular kind of literary device, through which it is possible to gain some degree of insight into the whole ideology on which the romantic movement was based. Through an analysis of the poetry of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, it looks at how the romantics mourn the fleeting nature of time and look back to the golden age of childhood - which can only be recaptured through nostalgia. It shows how nostalgia allows the poets the opportunity to not only recapture the past, but to manipulate and control it and how the nostalgia displayed in romantic poetry is, then, a tool of the intellect and a calculated attempt to make sense of a confused world of impressions and feelings, to bring order where previously there was only chaos.
From the Paper
"Coleridge?s is an extreme model of nostalgia. Casting his mind back to childhood, he finds that the child he once was is also indulging in nostalgic thoughts of a still deeper past; the past he may have experienced even before birth, on a far different plane. This is the blissful, innocent world which becomes the ideal for all present existence, and the child who can still recall it, and imaginatively re-inhabit that world through nostalgia becomes, to the romantic mind, like a visionary without language or the proper means of expressing his recollection."

Poetry in the 21st Century, 2004.
Explains the continuing relevance of poetry in our current era.

Abstract
As the 21st century begins, poetry remains relevant to the lives of people in the Western world, an antidote to the popular culture of spectacle and instant gratification. Using the example of British poet, Jamie McKendrick, this paper argues that poetry remains relevant because it reflects what is universally felt and experienced by humanity. Poetry is irrelevant to popular culture, but not to the populace. McKendrick's poetry reflects life in a way that more spectacular entertainment cannot do. His poems invite the reader to reflect on great questions and to notice small details and beauties of the world. One of McKendrick's abilities is to express emotions in a way that the readers themselves could perhaps never manage. Poets are truth-speakers, and because their work truly reflects life, it is seldom straightforward. It is rare that a poem is fully appreciated after the first reading. Poetry demands engagement with the reader or listener; it cannot be passively watched like a Hollywood film. The reader must interact with the poem, and in the process, helps create the poem, since the meaning inferred by one reader may be different from that of another reader, and both may be different from the author's intended meaning. The paper concludes that poetry continues to be relevant because it expresses the human experience and does so with an uncommon intimacy and truthfulness.
From the Paper
"A poem will last for centuries if it skillfully explores the human experience because the essence of that experience does not change. Sappho and John Donne, for example, will always be relevant because people will always develop romantic infatuations. Alienation, longing, love, grief, the search for meaning, the discovery of the sublime in mundane life: These things will always be relevant. McKendrick can set his poems outside of time, as he does with "The Belen", or set a poem in Dante's Hell, because he writes about being human, not about being human in a particular century. In Ink Stone, he often writes of loss. The struggle of the intellect to understand death and the loneliness felt at the death of someone who understood one's dreams will resonate with readers in the next century as much as in this one because the act of grieving will not change."

Abstract
This paper looks at how poetry is a useful form of literature for children, intellectually and emotionally. It discusses the creative use of language, which is specialized to stimulate the imagination and arouse feelings of readers, especially children.
From the Paper
"Narrative poetry evokes emotions that represent the mood or feeling of the work, rather than that of the poet. This type of poetry was often used orally to relate new or events to others and in written form it is read like a story. Although some narrative poems (such as epics and romances) are too sophisticated for young readers, ballads are an appropriate form for this age level. Originally designed for an illiterate people, ballads are easily remembered and adaptable for singing or recitation. Although some ballads are ancient and difficult for children to relate to, ?old ballads do serve to transport children to a more primitive past, to wilderness, to feudalism, to a time quite different from their own, yet not without flavorsome, musical, language.? The appeal of these ballads is often in the use of language, which evokes a mood or emotions."

Teaching Ethics Through Student Written Poetry, 2005.

Abstract
In consideration of the age old question about where and how to begin teaching ethics to students, this paper looks at whether student written poetry might be an effective tool to teach the importance of living in an ethical manner.
From the Paper
"Gibelman , Gelman , and Fast (1999) conducted what they called a quasi-experiment. They created a specific set of criteria for a research paper, based on course content in a social work graduate school program. Then they took an actual student-written paper, one bought "off-the-shelf" from a "paper mill" and a custom-written paper. The study doesn't say if the same service was used for both of the bought papers. The next step was to send the three variations to professors around the country for grading. It is interesting to note that the most well-received paper was the student-written one where the writer had actually attended the class the paper was for. The custom-written paper was the next best graded. These researchers suggest that the student written paper was most acceptable because the student had information and insight into what the instructor required for the paper that could only be gained from attending classes. Instructor formulate the parameters of essays and research papers to make specific determinations about student knowledge and ability."
