Marianne Moore's
Observations stands with T.S. Eliot's
The Waste Land, Ezra Pound's early
Cantos, and Wallace Stevens's

This groundbreaking book has been unavailable to the general reader since its original publication in the 1920s.
Presented with a new introduction by Linda Leavell, the author of the award-winning biography
Holding On Upside Down: The Life and Work of Marianne Moore, this reissue of

Observations show us one of America's greatest poets at the height of her powers.
"It is really the best of Moore in one portable volume." -Ange Mlinko, award-winning author of
