Elizabeth Bishop at 100
Often described as a “poet’s poet,†Elizabeth Bishop wrote slowly, often spending years on a single poem. She produced only five volumes of verse, totaling little more than 100 poems over the course of her life. But her [...]work—sensual and often rooted in geography (she spent much of her life abroad, most notably Brazil)—earned her nearly every honor imaginable, including a Pulitzer Prize, a National Book Award, and a Book Critics Circle Award. At a centenary tribute 17 poets, critics, and editors reminisce and read some of Bishop’s best loved poems.
Hosted by the College of General Studies Division of Humanities on February 10, 2011
