I'm going Marianne Moore on ya. Or on your ass? as in "Better watch it, or I'll go Marianne Moore on your ass!"?

Ol' MM and her triangular George Washington hat. What a kook. My kinda gal.

That's a great pic of her. So what does "going Marianne Moore on your ass" entail, I wonder.

Revising you until you'd hardly know yourself? I know she did that. But maybe there could be some aspect of her structures or her fondness for creatures in her poetry, or that correspondence with the Ford Motor Co.

I don't know of (or don't remember) her correspondence with Ford. What was that about?

Oooh, it was good stuff. They approached her for suggestions for the name of a new car they were going to be coming out with. The letters back and forth are grand. Very formal. And she comes up with some of the whackiest names.

I won't spoil the punchline of the tale by telling you what the car ends up being called, but I'll tell you this: that, too, is funny. The letters are definitely worth a read. They're collected in The Marianne Moore Reader, which I bet you've got in that library there at Wms. I think there may have been an separate volume of them published once, too.

Pink page with mini-frames? Oh, that was the first one. Check your email. I sent you a link that you needed an id and password to get into (included with the link). Lots of even cooler pics, including one of us with (well, behind) Penn Gillette.
