reviewed Elizabeth Bishop on March 04, 2018 Elizabeth Bishop
A really terrific biography of my favorite poet. Not only is it tremendously detailed, but the readings of the poems are thorough, astute, incisive and sensitive. And to think that the newer biography, Miracle for Breakfast, is supposed to be so much better. I can hardly wait. As Bishop dictated her wish for her tombstone inscription, one can say almost the same for her life story as it is given to us here: "Awful, but cheerful." This was a very emotional read for me. Bishop is in some fundamental ways unknowable, as is her poetry, and this is as it should be, but to know more about her unknowability through this wonderful biography has been a rare treat.
