My current, fascinating book. ‘In Bishop‘s work, much was implied by what seemed to be mere description. Description was a desperate way of avoiding self-description; looking at the world was a way of looking out from the self.‘

Severnmeadows I‘ve had a very good day reading this, and finished by tea-time 😊 I recommend it to anyone keen on Elizabeth Bishop‘s poetry. 6y
charl08 Oh I loved this one. Beautifully written. 6y
Severnmeadows @charl08 I loved reading his in-depth discussion of some of my favourite poems eg The Moose and Santarem. It was good learning a little more about her life, as well. 6y
