"Throughout her career Bishop aimed to bring morality and invention together in a single thought....It seems almost an impertinence to add that of the poets of her generation, with temperaments often more conspicuously adaptable than hers, Elizabeth Bishop alone now seems secure beyond the disputation of schools or the sway of period loyalties. Like all poets, she was less a maker of poems than a maker of feelings."

David Bromwich, New York Times Book Review, 02/27/1983

"[H]ow perfectly they balance devotion to fact and to memory and desire, how beautifully they combine toughness and elegance of mind."
