Elizabeth Bishop and Her Art (Under Discussion)

Collects critical responses to the work of one of America's greatest poets. As the first book-length collection to focus on Elizabeth Bishop, this book has become an essential resource on this poet - now recognized as one of America's greatest artists - whose poetry, as Harold Bloom says in his forward, stands "at the edge where what is most worth saying is all but impossible to say." The volume includes major essays by David Kalstone, Helen Vendler & Robert Pinsky, among others; a chronology of short articles & reviews, poems, memoirs & memorials, many by major poets; & an illuminating selection of work by Bishop herself, some of which is unavailable anywhere else.Elizabeth Bishop and Her Art (Under Discussion), First Edition was published 1983 under ISBN 9780472063437 and ISBN 047206343X.
