Exhibit profiles poet, thinker

The exhibit, "'She Taught Me to Blush': The Friendship of Marianne Moore and Kenneth Burke," will be on display through June 30 in the Special Collection Library, 104 Paterno Library, University Park.

Moore (1887-1972) had a writing career that spanned more than six decades and included the rare triumph of winning poetry's "triple crown" of major awards -- the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize and the Bollingen Prize -- for her "Collected Poems (1951)." In addition, Moore was the editor of the literary magazine, The Dial, from 1925 until the magazine ceased publication in 1929.

Burke (1897-1993) was a rhetorician whose criticism and theories had a major impact on many American writers and thinkers in the mid-20th century. A prominent intellectual in New York literary circles beginning in the 1920s, Burke was a poet, essayist, reviewer, novelist, translator, social commentator and writer of short stories. His correspondence with Moore helped shape The Dial's philosophy. The exhibit is largely drawn from the files of the Kenneth Burke Papers, purchased by Rare Books and Manuscripts from Burke in 1974.
