Elizabeth Bishop

Biography

Works

If Anne Sexton is the Siren of the dark psyche, Adrienne Rich the Pilot of political vitality, Jorie Graham the Valkyrie of philosophical investigation, Bishop is surely the elder Sybil of everyday human life, wandering the waste lands, as it were, and revealing her wise art only to those who actively seek it out. For those who continue to seek her art and lifework, these recordings are nothing less than essential.
—Ernest Hilbert
