astonishing poetry - By: A reader, 15 Nov 2006
For many, Bishop is the quintessential American poet of the twentieth century. Subtle, crafted & frequently surreal, her poems tend to centre on loss, travel & the way we understand ourselves through the physical world around us. Her exquisite acts of describing islands, animals, ports & quietly untidy human habitations on the fringes show a thinking, exhiliratingly alert mind in action. This is oblique & layered poetry which reveals more on each re-reading. Her sestinas & villanelle 'One Art' are also the best in the business. This edition contains alll her best known poems including 'The Bight', 'Crusoe in England', 'The Armadillo', 'Sandpiper', 'The Map' & 'The Fish'. Give it a try: these beautiful poems will stay with you long afterwards.
