Holding On Upside Down: The Life and Work of Marianne Moore
A full-length biography authorized by the Moore estate, and the first to make use of her papers without the family's earlier restrictions. Linda Leavell tracks Marianne Moore from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to Greenwich Village, through her long cohabitation with her mother and her eventual transformation into a celebrity poet in a tricorne hat. The FSG edition is a solid trade paperback with the heft that the research demands and the sober design that FSG reserves for literary lives. It does not pretend to be a quick read. Ideal reader: the reader who suspects that Moore's reserve was a performance as carefully constructed as her syllabics.
