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 In addition it contains an extensive selection of unpublished poems & drafts of poems (several not previously collected), as well as all her published poetic translations, ranging from a chorus from Aristophanes' "The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.
