Marianne Moore as said earlier is a modernist poet who isn't afraid of acknowledge that modern poetry can sometimes be a little off-putting. The speaker of "Poetry" tells us that she doesn't really fancy poetry, but she also wants to talk it out and solve or find an answer to the question on why one might keep going back to poems.
