    Extractions: About Elizabeth Bishop George S. Lensing E Trial Balances in 1935. In residence in New York for a year, she wrote her first mature poems, including "The Map" and "The Man-Moth." She then lived intermittently in Europe for three years before purchasing a house in Key West, Florida, in 1938. After being rejected by several New York publishers, the first of her four volumes of poetry, North and South, was finally published in 1946. The next year she was introduced by Randall Jarrell to Robert Lowell, who became a lifelong friend. In 1951, the geographical displacement in her life continued when she took ill on a trip to South America; left behind by a freighter in Brazil, she made that country her home for the next eighteen years. Her lesbian relationship with Lota de Macedo Soares gave her life stability and love, and she established residences in Rio de Janeiro, nearby Petrópolis, and, later, Ouro Prêto. A Cold Spring, her second volume of poetry, appeared in 1955. Brazil became the setting for many of the poems that were collected a decade later in Questions of Travel After the suicide of Lota de Macedo Soares, Bishop increasingly began to live in the United States, and became poet-in-residence at Harvard University in 1969. A close friendship with Alice Methfessel began in 1971 and continued until the time of Bishop's death in 1979. Her final poetry volume

    Extractions: (1911-1979), poet (1946), captures the divided nature of Bishop's allegiances: born in New England and reared there and in Nova Scotia, she eventually migrated to hotter regions. This book was reprinted in 1955, with additions, as and it won a Pulitzer Prize. Much of Bishop's later work also addresses the frigid/tropical dichotomy of a New England conscience in a tropic sphere. Questions of Travel (1965) and Geography III (1976) offer spare, powerful meditations on the need for self-exploration, on the value of art (especially poetry) in human life, and on human responsibility in a chaotic world. The latter collection includes some of Bishop's best-known poems, among them "In the Waiting Room," "Crusoe in England," and the exquisite villanelle "One Art." A collection entitled The Complete Poems was published in 1969. Bishop taught writing at Harvard University from 1970 to 1977. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1976. Posthumously published volumes include The Complete Poems, 1927-1979

    Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature American Poetry Since 1945 ... Authors Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) Index Among women poets of the idiosyncratic group, Elizabeth Bishop and Adrienne Rich have garnered the most respect in recent years. Bishop's crystalline intelligence and interest in remote landscapes and metaphors of travel appeal to readers for their exactitude and subtlety. Like her mentor Marianne Moore , Bishop, who never married, wrote highly crafted poems in a cool, descriptive style that contains hidden philosophical depths. The description of the ice-cold North Atlantic in "At the Fishhouses" could apply to Bishop's own poetry: "It is like what we imagine knowledge to be: / dark, salt, clear, moving, utterly free." With Moore, Bishop may be placed in a "cool" female poetic tradition harking back to Emily Dickinson, in comparison with the "hot" poems of Plath Sexton , and Adrienne Rich. Index

    http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/poetry/soundings/bishop.htm
    
    Extractions: E lizabeth Bishop's "Sonnet" is often taken to be her last poem. It was published in The New Yorker on October 29, 1979, three weeks after she died. And it feels like a posthumous poem, with its images of release from illness, from emotional conflict, from being "a creature divided." In fact Bishop had written it more than a year earlier, then with surprising speed finished another poem, "Pink Dog" a bitterly ironic, grotesquely comic "samba" set in Rio at Carnival time, in which she advises a "poor bitch," a hairless scavenger with scabies (her chilling mirror image, another creature out of place among the Cariocan revelers), to "Dress up! Dress up and dance at Carnival!" The New Yorker rushed this mardi-gras poem into the February 26 issue, while "Sonnet," acquired months before, would have to wait another eight months to see the light of day.

Bishop and Gertrude May (Boomer) Bishop, both of Canadian ancestry. October 13, 1911 Her father, a vice president in his father's Boston-based construction company, died from kidney disease on, when Bishop was only eight months old. Bishop's mother subsequently suffered a number of breakdowns mother was permanently institutionalized May 1934 -mother died in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Bishop, who was only five years old at the time was then taken by her maternal grandparents to their home in a very Nova Scotia town called Great Village. Out of her experiences there came the short story "In the Village" and the very fine poem "First Death in Nova Scotia." September 1917 her father's parents took her from her largely happy life in Great Village to live with them in their mansion in Worcester, though she would return to Nova Scotia for two months each summer. While living in Worcester, she experienced many ailments. From her experiences there would come the superb late poem "In the Waiting Room." May 1918 Recognizing her unhappiness, in her paternal grandparents allowed her to live with her aunt, Maud Shepherdson, and her husband, George. This, the fourth household in which Elizabeth had lived by the age of eight, proved to be a stable and happy one, and she later credited her aunt with having saved her life.

She looks at the exotic photographs in National Geographic magazinesvolcanoes, pith helmets, "babies with pointed heads," and "black, naked women with necks / wound round and round with wire." The girl hears her aunt cry out in pain. Suddenly, she has a revelation, "you are an I, / you are an Elizabeth, / you are one of them," a person. In some mysterious way, they were all bound together, even the women with "those awful hanging breasts."[99 lines] Commentary This long poem is one of Elizabeth Bishop's finest evocations of the magic in ordinary life. Through a child's consciousness, she illuminates the oceanic or mystical experience of connectedness.
