this is a very good historical representation of moore's writings. i recommend it over any of moore's self-curated collections.

Fuck anon, you just reminded me that I lent my copy to a friend a few months ago and still didn't get it back, I really want to read it again and I'm mad now
Otherwise, if you're into French poetry, read Le Fou d'Elsa by Aragon. I'm nowhere near being finished with it, but one of the first poems in the book is one of the only poems I know that can legitimately make me cry like a fucking baby. It's called "Un espion de Castille franchissant le Djébel Cholaïr As-Sadj parvient au dessus de Grenade". Sadly I don't think there are any English translations of that book.

Thanks for the rec. I'm more or less versed in French so I will try to find it and read it.
