 This book brings together almost all of the known interviews Elizabeth Bishop gave over a period of thirty years. Included also are a few selected pieces based on conversations with her. All together they allow her ardent and admiring readers a rewarding, close-up encounter with one of America's great writers.

In this collection of conversations Bishop expresses her opinions about various types of poetry, describes her view of the geography of the imagination in the writing process, defends her often criticized feminist views, and discusses her role as teacher and poet.

Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) won many prizes for poetry, including a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award. She was graduated from Vassar, where she knew Mary McCarthy. She taught at Harvard, New York University, and the University of Washington and was a long-time resident in Brazil.

Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979) was an American poet born in Worcester, Massachusetts, and raised largely in Nova Scotia after her father's death and her mother's institutionalization. She published four poetry collections in her lifetime, beginning with North & South (Houghton Mifflin, 1946) and including Questions of Travel (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1965). She received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1956 for Poems: North & South—A Cold Spring.
