This definitive collection gives us the full scope of a brilliant American poet.

Elizabeth Bishop is one of America's greatest writers, whose incisive artistry has inspired generations. Her body of work displays honesty and humor, grief and acceptance; she observes nature and human nature with patient accuracy. The poems often look outward--roving over the terrain of New England and Nova Scotia, where Bishop grew up, to Florida and Brazil, where she later lived--then move inward, to the intangible, exploring knowledge and perception, love and solitude, and the struggles of form to control chaos. Gathering every poem that Bishop herself saw into print, along with a selection of unfinished, posthumously published work, this landmark volume presents the magnificence of the poet's oeuvre in its full breadth and depth.

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.
