Beschreibung

Although Elizabeth Bishop is perhaps better known as a masterful poet she was a dazzling and compelling prose writer too as this centenary edition of her prose demonstrates. From her witty unforgettable portraits of Marianne Moore and the Sitwells to her engaging childhood recollections of Canada and Massachusetts her writing reflects a lifelong fascination with memory and travel and her unique eye and ear for people and places.

This new volume - edited by the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Lloyd Schwartz - includes virtually all her published shorter prose pieces and a number of prose works not published until after her death. Included here are her stories crucial memoirs literary and travel essays book reviews and - for the first time - the original draft of Brazil the Life World Library volume she repudiated in its published version as well as extensive selections from the correspondence between Bishop and the poet Anne Stevenson. Here is a rich and revealing selection and the indispensible companion to the poems.

Über den Autor

Elizabeth Bishop was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1911 and graduated from Vassar College in 1934. She travelled widely as an adult, living in Paris, Mexico, New York, Florida, and, for more than a decade, Brazil, before returning to the United States. Her work was immediately prized for its distinctive clarity, precision, and depth, and she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award, among others. Over time she has come to be acknowledged as one of America's greatest poets. She died in Boston in 1979.
