Poet Elizabeth Bishop

5 Comments 05 February 2011

Today, the Wall Street Journal has an in-depth review of The Poems of Elizabeth Bishop, published Feb. 1 by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. Written by Dana Gioia, former chair of the National Endowment of the Arts and recently appointed professor and public culture at the University of Southern California, the article goes far beyond a simple book review and examines Bishop’s place in American letters.

We had a short article here in December 2009 that included one of the poems from The Complete Poems 1927-1079.

  1. We get the Journal but I haven’t read it yet. I’ll look for this article. Thank you.

  2. Gioia wrote an interesting article. I knew Bishop’s output was scant but I didn’t how few poems she’d written. Her relationship with The New Yorker makes for a good story, too. If I recall correctly, all her papers are now at Vassar.

  3. Here’s another good post on the Bishop books:

Sponsor Poetry (& Happiness)

Every day at Tweetspeak we work hard to bring happiness and personal growth to our audience. Sure, it costs. We could talk about that in terms of what it takes to make a house downpayment, for instance (and not in South Dakota either, you betcha).

Or we could just say this: we do it happily. If you want to be part of that happiness in a small way, you could "Subscribe" for a year. Well, and that would make us happy too. Yep.

We aren't offering anything gimmicky in return. Just a chance to make us smile and keep us mortgage-free. And either way, Tweetspeak will be here for you every day.

We'd love to tweet or Facebook our thanks to you if you sponsor. (And that's no gimmick.) Just tell us not to if you prefer to stay secret.
