From several thousand letters, written over fifty years - from 1928, when she was seventeen, to the day of her death, in Boston in 1979 - Robert Giroux has selected over five hundred and has written a detailed and informative introduction. One Art takes us behind Bishop's formal sophistication and reserve, displaying to the full the gift for friendship, the striving for perfection, and the passionate, questing, rigorous spirit that made her a great poet.

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.
