Bishop paints minutia of nature visible on land and sea. Her power to see was not the fruit of a life without pain. Her father died but mere months after her own birth-in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1921. Her mother was confined to a mental hospital when Elizabeth was only five, and she never saw her again. After living with her father's parents, Bishop met Marianne Moore, who encouraged publication of her early poems written when she studied at Vassar College. Later, when living in New York, she became a close friend of Robert Lowell. Then Bishop was a consultant in poetry at the Library of Congress. When she lived in Florida for seven years, Bishop completed her first book of poems, North and South-A Spring (1955). It won the Pulitzer Prize.

Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) Contributing Editor: C. K. Doreski Classroom Issues and Strategies Bishop's poems are highly accessible and do not present problems for most mature readers. I have found that more students come to hear the poetry of Bishop when they commit some of her work to memory. I often challenge students to find the poetry first and then discuss the theme. This encourages them to begin to find relationships among form, language, and topic. Significant Form, Style, or Artistic Conventions Bishop's voice communicates rather directly to beginning readers of poetry. What is difficult to convey is the depth of expression and learning evidenced in these poems. Her work shows not merely experience but wisdom, the ability to reflect upon one's life, and that makes some poems difficult for younger readers. For younger women readers, Bishop often seems old-fashioned, fussy, or detached. This perplexed the poet in that she felt that she had lived her life as an independent woman. This "generation gap" often provides an interesting class opportunity to talk about historical, cultural, and class assumptions in literatureand how those issues affect us as readers. Students are often quite taken by Bishop's regard for animals. With the spirit of a Darwinian naturalist, the poet is willing to accord the natural world intrinsic rights and purposes. The dream-fusion world of the Man-Moth provides many students with an opportunity to discover this avenue into Bishop's world.

33. Sestina - Elizabeth Bishop By elizabeth bishop. http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/03/ahead/sestina.html

Sestina by Elizabeth Bishop September rain falls on the house. In the failing light, the old grandmother sits in the kitchen with the child beside the Little Marvel Stove, reading the jokes from the almanac, laughing and talking to hide her tears. She thinks that her equinoctial tears and the rain that beats on the roof of the house were both foretold by the almanac, but only known to a grandmother. The iron kettle sings on the stove. She cuts some bread and says to the child, It's time for tea now; but the child is watching the teakettle's small hard tears dance like mad on the hot black stove, the way the rain must dance on the house. Tidying up, the old grandmother hangs up the clever almanac on its string. Birdlike, the almanac hovers half open above the child, hovers above the old grandmother and her teacup full of dark brown tears. She shivers and says she thinks the house feels chilly, and puts more wood in the stove. It was to be, says the Marvel Stove. I know what I know, says the almanac.

Introduction by Lloyd Schwartz March 29, 2000 Elizabeth Bishop E lizabeth Bishop's "Sonnet" is often taken to be her last poem. It was published in The New Yorker on October 29, 1979, three weeks after she died. And it feels like a posthumous poem, with its images of release from illness, from emotional conflict, from being "a creature divided." In fact Bishop had written it more than a year earlier, then with surprising speed finished another poem, "Pink Dog" a bitterly ironic, grotesquely comic "samba" set in Rio at Carnival time, in which she advises a "poor bitch," a hairless scavenger with scabies (her chilling mirror image, another creature out of place among the Cariocan revelers), to "Dress up! Dress up and dance at Carnival!" The New Yorker rushed this mardi-gras poem into the February 26 issue, while "Sonnet," acquired months before, would have to wait another eight months to see the light of day.
