About this book
Prose : the Centenary Edition by Elizabeth Bishop is a book available to read on EtoBox.
"Although Elizabeth Bishop is perhaps better known as a masterful poet, she was a dazzling and compelling prose writer, too ... From her witty, unforgettable portraits of Marianne Moore and the Sitwells to her engaging childhood recollections of Canada and Massachusetts, her writing reflects a lifelong fascination with memory and travel, and her unique eye and ear for people and places. This new volume ... includes virtually all her published shorter prose pieces and a number of prose works not published until after her death. Included here are stories, critical memoirs, literary and travel essays, book reviews and--for the first time--the original draft of Brazil, the Life World Library volume she repudiated in its published version, as well as extensive selections from the correspondence between Bishop and the poet Anne Stevenson"--Page 4 of cover
