T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Bishop, Elizabeth (1911-1979) page: Widely acknowledged as one of the finest twentieth-century American poets, Elizabeth Bishop encoded a lesbian identity in her poems. Bishop was born on February 8, 1911, in Worcester, Massachusetts, the only child of Gertrude May Boomer Bishop of Great Village, Nova Scotia, and William T. Bishop, eldest son of a wealthy Worcester family. When Elizabeth was eight months old, her father died of Bright's Disease. Her mother, stricken by the shock of his death, over the next five years was intermittently hospitalized for nervous breakdowns, until she was committed in 1916 to a public sanitarium in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, where she remained until her death in 1934. Sponsor Message. Elizabeth was cared for by her mother's parents in Great Village until 1917, when her paternal grandparents, believing that she would benefit from the material and social privileges they could offer, brought her to live with them in Worcester. The stress of her sudden displacement from congenial village life to the isolation and cold propriety of the Bishop house caused Elizabeth to develop severe asthma, eczema, and bronchitis, and after only nine months she was taken in by her mother's sister, Maude, who lived in a south Boston tenement. Maude's care, along with summer visits to Nova Scotia, considerably improved Elizabeth's health though she had little formal education until high school because of her illnesses, and she suffered from chronic asthma for the rest of her life.

The Fish I caught a tremendous fish and held him beside the boat half out of water, with my hook fast in a corner of its mouth. He didn’t fight. He hadn’t fought at all. He hung a grunting weight, battered and venerable and homely. Here and there his brown skin hung in strips like ancient wallpaper, and its pattern of darker brown was like wallpaper: shapes like full-blown roses stained and lost through age. He was speckled with barnacles, fine rosettes of lime, and infested with tiny white sea-lice, and underneath two or three rags of green weed hung down. While his gills were breathing in the terrible oxygen — the frightening gills

INTRODUCTION Bishop's reputation as an accomplished poet rests on a small but significant body of highly crafted verse. Describing nature and experience with meticulous detail, Bishop often employed unusual metaphors and surreal images to portray an unsettling world. Bishop received the Pulitzer Prize for poetry for (1955), the National Book Award for The Complete Poems (1969), and the National Book Critics' Award for Geography III (1976). In addition, in 1976 she became the first American to receive the Neustadt International Prize for literature. Since her death in 1979, Bishop's poetry, highly praised by her peers in her lifetime, has gained respect and popularity with a general audience as well.

Turkshead library index The Fish Elizabeh Bishop I caught a tremendous fish and held him beside the boat half out of water, with my hook fast in a corner of its mouth. He hung a grunting weight, battered and venerable and homely. Here and there his brown skin hung in strips like ancient wallpaper, and its pattern of darker brown was like wallpaper: shapes like full-blown roses stained and lost through age. He was speckled with barnacles, fine rosettes of lime, and infested with tiny white sea-lice, and underneath two or three rags of green weed hung down. While his gills were breathing in the terrible oxygen fresh and crisp with blood, I thought of the coarse white flesh packed in like feathers, the big bones and the little bones, the dramatic reds and blacks of his shiny entrails, and the pink swim-bladder like a big peony. I looked into his eyes which were far larger than mine but shallower, and yellowed, the irises backed and packed with tarnished tinfoil seen through the lenses of old scratched isinglass.
