Synopsis

Merrill Moore's sonnets are magnificent - William Carlos Williams
Perhaps best remembered as Robert Lowell's psychologist, Merrill Moore was a key member of the Fugitive group of poets, alongisde John Crowe Ransom and Allen Tate. His fascinating and now forgotten poetry relies on a keen, almost clinical study of his subjects, and is marked by a perpetual struggle with form: his beloved sonnet, of which he wrote several thousand.
This re-introduction will help establish the important but hitherto overlooked work of Merrill Moore, the best of which is extremely fine and original.
