Whether writing about waiting as a child in a dentist's office, viewing a city from a plane high above, or losing items ranging from door keys to one's lover in the masterfully restrained "One Art," Elizabeth Bishop somehow conveyed both large and small emotional truths in language of stunning exactitude and even more astonishing resonance. As John Ashbery has written, "The private self . . . melts imperceptibly into the large utterance, the grandeur of poetry, which, because it remains rooted in everyday particulars, never sounds 'grand, ' but is as quietly convincing as everyday speech."

About Elizabeth Bishop

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. Her Complete Poems (1969) won the National Book Award, and Geography III (1976) won the National Book Critics Circle Award. She served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1949 to 1950.
