In her three-line poem “Poetry,” Marianne Moore expresses her emotions regarding poetry. The speaker is most likely Moore herself. She says outright in the opening paragraph that she “too” despises poetry. The word “it” in this line must be connected by the reader to the word “Poetry” in the title. She continues, amending her claim, and stating that reading it does benefit her. It is a place where the “genuine” may live, she claims.
