Robert Lowell said, "I enjoy her poems more than anybody else's". Long before a wider public was aware of Bishop's work, her fellow poets expressed astonished admiration of her formal rigor, fiercely observant eye, emotional intimacy, & sometimes eccentric flights of imagination. Today she is recognized as one of America's great poets of the 20th century. This unprecedented collection offers a full-scale presentation of a writer of startling originality, at once passionate & reticent, adventurous & perfectionist. It presents all the poetry that Elizabeth Bishop published in her lifetime, in such classic volumes as "North & South", "A Cold Spring", "Questions of Travel", & "Geography III". In addition it contains an extensive selection of unpublished poems & drafts of poems (several not previously collected), as well as all her published poetic translations, ranging from a chorus from Aristophanes' "The Birds" to versions of Brazilian sambas. "Poems, Prose, and Letters" also brings together most of her published prose writings, including stories; reminiscences; travel writing about the places (Nova Scotia, Florida, Brazil) that so profoundly marked her poetry; & literary essays & statements, including a number of pieces published here for the first time. The book is rounded out with a selection of Bishop’s irresistibly engaging & self-revelatory letters. Of the 53 letters included here, written between 1933 & 1979, a considerable number are printed for the first time, & all are presented in their entirety. Their recipients include Robert Lowell, Marianne Moore, Randall Jarrell, Anne Stevenson, May Swenson, & Carlos Drummond de Andrade * ABOUT THE EDITORS: ROBERT GIROUX was chairman of the editorial board of Farrar, Straus and Giroux & Elizabeth Bishop's longtime editor. He edited her "Collected Prose" (1984) & "One Art" (1994), her selected letters. LLOYD SCHWARTZ is Frederick S. Troy Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, classical music editor of The Boston Phoenix, & a regular reviewer for NPR's Fresh Air. In 1994 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. His most recent poetry collection is "Cairo Traffic" * LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.…
