Jardines imaginarios con sapos de verdad

Marianne Moore was an essential figure in American poetry, key to the renewal that took place in the first half of the 20th century. In this selection, we discover one of the freest and most innovative poets, someone who knew how to find her aesthetic independence within American modernism. Her poems stand out for their exquisite precision of language and the eloquence of the images they evoke, and are capable of revealing a new reality in the everyday; for, as William Carlos Williams said of her: “This is the amazing thing about a good writer, he seems to make the world come to him to brush against the thorns of his bush. So that, looking at an apparently small object, one feels the whirlwind of great events.”
