ABSTRACT
Moore’s dependence on Others was reciprocal. “It is hard to overestimate the importance of poet and playwright Alfred Kreymborg’s little magazine, Others, in launching Marianne Moore’s career as a poet,” argues Robin G. Schulze.4 Her edited collection of Moore’s early poetry, Becoming Marianne Moore, makes it possible to see in one volume what could previously only be deduced by combing through various special collections and disparate archives: exactly how important Others was to Moore’s poetic development. The publication of Moore’s Selected Letters deepens our understanding of how the magazine-and the people associated with it-fostered Moore’s emerging sense of herself as a poet.
