The complete poems of a great American poet.
Having all these poems in a single volume gives the reader the rare opportunity to see all the complexities of this major poet in all her varied nuances. Being able to read and study these works in one volume reinforces one'sopinion of Marianne Moore as a major and unequalled master of our language/

Great to get all of her poems. I am reading it with the recent biography of her. She was quite an individual!

In general, avoid purchasing poetry on Kindle
While I love Marianne Moore's poetry, I wish I could return my Kindle edition of her collected poems. First, as a sidebar, this collected version only contains the three line version of 'Poetry,' which was Moore's final version of the poem; however, in many anthologies, the considerably longer, original version of the poem is printed, and this is the source of the discrepancy at least one other person noted.Second, my issue with this edition seems to be the mantra of most poetry readers who buy Kindle versions of poems: the formatting stinks. While this edition is not nearly as bad as Kindle's free version of Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience (which is formatted completely in prose), it does not preserve the formatting of the poetry as originally created by Moore. Moore makes considerable use of indentation, a matter of form which is vital to the function of her poems, and this version does not preserve it - every line is left-aligned. So while this is better than some other poetry collections for Kindle, I would highly suggest purchasing the print version in order to attain the complete experience of Moore's poetry.

I "found" Elizabeth Bishop first and am now beginning to read some of the work that inspired her. My only criticism of this edition is that the print is difficult to read ("Monotype Waldbaum", whatever that means). It is small and dark instead of being larger (I am a senior).
