Description
Marianne Moore's prudishness is of a particular kind. While Moore was sensitive and averse to sexual innuendo, she was fascinated by animality and pointed out traits both humans and animals shared in that regard. She was "careful to prevent the theme of human sexuality from obscuring glimpses of the larger but less obvious theme of human animality".
