Celebrating Elizabeth Bishop

Tomorrow, February 8, will mark the 100th anniversary of Elizabeth Bishop’s birth. In honor of the poet, I invite visitors to celebrate by reading some of the past articles that have appeared in One Poet’s Notes and Valparaiso Poetry Review concerning Bishop: “‘Elizabeth Bishop’s Poetic Voice: Reconciling Influences’ by Laura Ebberson,” “Elizabeth Bishop on Meeting Marianne Moore,” “Jennifer Yaros: ‘Nature and the Self: Dickinson, Bishop, Plath, and Oliver,’” “Elizabeth Bishop: The Poet’s Voice,” “Fat Tuesday: Elizabeth Bishop’s ‘Pink Dog,’” and “Listening to Elizabeth Bishop.”
