Poems

As I was watching the “docuseries”…I was struck by the simple beauty of the poet’sexpression of universal themes ..& thot I’d like to find out if these poems were devised for the presentation…or if there’s “a real poet “ present? Fortunately…there’s a real poetand here’s her works…Ordinarily not following poets or poetry…&Ignorant …then…of the life affirming works..universal recognition….accolades…awards …of gifted poet….Elizabeth Bishop….I learned of this book of her poetry…& immediately ordered it! I haven’t been disappointed! It’s now present on my nightstand…to be opened…at will…& often….

ordered from glenthebookseller used... I was unsure of what the condition would be, but it was excellent. would not know it was a used book. highly recommend this bookseller.

There is so much to like about Bishop’s work, and this volume captures a vast and vastly different array of poems, including a significant evolution of her style over decades. If you want to observe the work of one of the world’s greatest ever poets (in any language, in any era, and in any vernacular) read this.

The book was received in fairly good condition, there's a bend mark on the front cover since it was used before. Overall the book was great and the poems written by Bishop herself was magnifying at her specific word choice. The price and quality of this poetry is worth adding into my contemporary classic poetry collection!

I liked the book because its choices of poems were made to convey important aspects of real life, including the erotic. The poems are not philosophical, but have a lot of wisdom in them. Many are also very entertaining.

It is a marvelous collection of poems of a true genius.

Wasn't as expected. Disappointed.Seeking credit.Additionally, ordered just ONE copy and TWO copies were delivered.

Elizabeth Bishop is one of the greatest American poets. Her work is essential for anyone interested in poetry from the 20th Century. This edition includes her complete works, translations she did by other poets and her uncollected works. It also includes her original handwritten or typed drafts of some of her later poems. It's fascinating to see her how she worked and the changes she made. This book is essential for every poetry collection.
