One Art by Elizabeth Bishop
$49.00
One Art: The Selected Letters presents more than five decades of correspondence from American poet Elizabeth Bishop, from her youth in the 1920s through to 1979. Selected and introduced by her longtime editor Robert Giroux, the letters reveal Bishop's writing life, friendships with fellow writers including Marianne Moore and Robert Lowell, and her years in Brazil. Both an intimate literary portrait and a valuable record of twentieth-century poetry.
