21. Costello
    Discussion of Auden's early poetry and its influence on elizabeth bishop.  
    http://projects.vassar.edu/bishop/Costello.html
    
    Extractions: Boston University When Ashley Brown asked Bishop about Auden's influence she remarked: "I bought all his books as they came out and read them a great deal. But he didn't affect my poetic practice." She turned the discussion to Wallace Stevens. But when George Starbuck asked her about other women poets, she dodged the question and brought up Auden. Bishop would not be the first poet to evade close scrutiny of her sources. Her enthusiasm for Auden's work, at least, seems never to have ebbed. I believe that his influence was as profound, in opposite ways, perhaps, as that of Stevens', or Moore's, though it has received far less comment. Today I have time only to bring evidence of the influence, not to analyze it fully. (I'll be quoting Auden, but only alluding to Bishop, on the assumption that you know her work by heart, and that you are less familiar with his.) In 1937 Bishop writes to Marianne Moore that she is working on a review ("my first!") about Auden's Look Stranger, which she calls "The Mechanics of Pretense." Bret Millier's biography claims the piece is lost, but Tom Travisano has helped me locate the fragment (the piece is unfinished) in the Vassar library. Thirty seven years later, In 1974, Bishop wrote "A Brief Reminiscence and a Brief Tribute" on Auden for the Harvard Advocate. The Advocate piece resembles the review fragment in that she yields, after a few critical remarks, to ample quotation. Bishop seems to have had difficulty analyzing Auden's appeal. After a page and a half of quotations Bishop concludes the Advocate piece by remarking: "These verses and many, many more of Auden's, have been part of my mind for yearsI could say, part of my life." (Does she say it?)

24. Sestina
    By elizabeth bishop.  
    http://www.math.nwu.edu/~tran/Poems/Sestina.html
    
    Extractions: Sestina 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. With crayons the child draws a rigid house and a winding pathway. Then the child puts in a man with buttons like tears and shows it proudly to the grandmother. But secretly, while the grandmother busies herself about the stove, the little moons fall down like tears from between the pages of the almanac into the flower bed the child has carefully placed in the front of the house. Time to plant tears , says the almanac. The grandmother sings to the marvelous stove and the child draws another inscrutable house.

    http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/a_f/bishop/about.htm
    
    Extractions: About Elizabeth Bishop George S. Lensing E Trial Balances in 1935. In residence in New York for a year, she wrote her first mature poems, including "The Map" and "The Man-Moth." She then lived intermittently in Europe for three years before purchasing a house in Key West, Florida, in 1938. After being rejected by several New York publishers, the first of her four volumes of poetry, North and South, was finally published in 1946. The next year she was introduced by Randall Jarrell to Robert Lowell, who became a lifelong friend. In 1951, the geographical displacement in her life continued when she took ill on a trip to South America; left behind by a freighter in Brazil, she made that country her home for the next eighteen years. Her lesbian relationship with Lota de Macedo Soares gave her life stability and love, and she established residences in Rio de Janeiro, nearby Petrópolis, and, later, Ouro Prêto. A Cold Spring, her second volume of poetry, appeared in 1955. Brazil became the setting for many of the poems that were collected a decade later in Questions of Travel After the suicide of Lota de Macedo Soares, Bishop increasingly began to live in the United States, and became poet-in-residence at Harvard University in 1969. A close friendship with Alice Methfessel began in 1971 and continued until the time of Bishop's death in 1979. Her final poetry volume

    http://odur.let.rug.nl/~usa/LIT/bishop.htm
    
    Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature American Poetry Since 1945 ... Authors Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) Index Among women poets of the idiosyncratic group, Elizabeth Bishop and Adrienne Rich have garnered the most respect in recent years. Bishop's crystalline intelligence and interest in remote landscapes and metaphors of travel appeal to readers for their exactitude and subtlety. Like her mentor Marianne Moore , Bishop, who never married, wrote highly crafted poems in a cool, descriptive style that contains hidden philosophical depths. The description of the ice-cold North Atlantic in "At the Fishhouses" could apply to Bishop's own poetry: "It is like what we imagine knowledge to be: / dark, salt, clear, moving, utterly free." With Moore, Bishop may be placed in a "cool" female poetic tradition harking back to Emily Dickinson, in comparison with the "hot" poems of Plath Sexton , and Adrienne Rich. Index

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: Chronology February 8, 1911 Elizabeth Bishop was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on. She was the only child of William T. Bishop and Gertrude May (Boomer) Bishop, both of Canadian ancestry. October 13, 1911 Her father, a vice president in his father's Boston-based construction company, died from kidney disease on, when Bishop was only eight months old. Bishop's mother subsequently suffered a number of breakdowns mother was permanently institutionalized May 1934 -mother died in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Bishop, who was only five years old at the time was then taken by her maternal grandparents to their home in a very Nova Scotia town called Great Village. Out of her experiences there came the short story "In the Village" and the very fine poem "First Death in Nova Scotia." September 1917 her father's parents took her from her largely happy life in Great Village to live with them in their mansion in Worcester, though she would return to Nova Scotia for two months each summer. While living in Worcester, she experienced many ailments. From her experiences there would come the superb late poem "In the Waiting Room."
