Telecommuting is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For
employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the
location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines,
when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their
employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million
telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as
significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few
years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular ?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many
managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered
across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed,
thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the

Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only because there was no
other name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that happen to be
printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subjects were varied: animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of
poetry. From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or insightful. She included these
in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks, and sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this
practice, she wrote, "Why many quotation marks?" I am asked When a thing has been so well that it
could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of
collection of flies in amber." Close observation and concentration on detail and the methods of her poetry.
Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Lois. After graduation from Bryn Mawr College
in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Later she
became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s she was editor of The Dial, an important literary
magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life, mostly in Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of
time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals. Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers-before the team
moved to Los Angeles-was widely known.
Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends associated with the
Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with interest by succeeding generations
of poets and readers. In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems. She wrote
that she did not write poetry for money or fame. To earn a living is needful, but it can be done in routine
ways. One writes because one has a burning desire to objectify what it is indispensable to one's
happiness to express.
