Large as it is, The Complete Prose of Marianne Moore is not complete. It doesn't contain the Ford Correspondence, in which she offered Ford's Marketing Research Director Robert B. Young many wondrous names for the car eventually called Edsel, or the waywardly informative interview with Donald Hall. These items have appeared in A Marianne Moore Reader (1961). Some juvenilia remain unrescued from the Carlisle Evening Sentinel, to which she contributed, according to her 'Subject, Predicate, Object' (1958), 'woman's suffrage party notes.'
