Description:

In this highly informative montage we're treated not only to the voice of Elizabeth Bishop, one of the 20th century's most accomplished poets, but also to the insightful commentary of Mary McCarthy, James Merrill, Octavio Paz, and others. Through them we learn of Bishop's life--her Nova Scotia childhood, her friendships with Marianne Moore and Robert Lowell, her beloved Brazil--as well as her influences, fascinations, and themes. Bishop reads some of her best-loved poems, including "Questions of Travel," "The Moose" (which, we're told, she honed for 20 years), "The Man-Moth," "In the Waiting Room," and "One Art." This is a superb introduction to Bishop's life and work. (Running time: 1 hour, 1 cassette) --Martha Silano
