Analysis and comments on The Steeple-Jack by Marianne Moore

Bleck. What this poem possibly has over something as sublime as the James Wright poem, "The Journey" (that it is up in tandem with today) is the bit of humor about the steeple jack having his little sign of "danger" out as he gilds the star of hope. LOL.

I have just discovered Marianne Moore in a high school literature book. I read "poetry" and very much enjoyed it. In the "before you read" section there is a brief author biography which i read only after reading her poem, which caught my eye. The end of this biography made mention of "the Steeplejack", for first-time Moore readers like myself. I then proceeded to find it on the internet and here I am. I have always had a great appreciation for poetry, for I enjoy writing it myself and now, after only two poems I find myself wanting to be a Moore enthusiast for I think her work is brilliant. The Steeplejack has a lot of meaning but you have to think about a little bit. I like that.
