<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Poems" is the definitive edition of the work of one of America's most beloved poets, increasingly recognized as one of the greatest English-language poets of the 20th century.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A <i>Boston Globe</i> Best Poetry Book of 2011 <p/>This is the definitive edition of the work of one of America's greatest poets, increasingly recognized as one of the greatest English-language poets of the twentieth century, loved by readers and poets alike. Bishop's poems combine humor and sadness, pain and acceptance, and observe nature and lives in perfect miniaturist close-up. The themes central to her poetry are geography and landscape--from New England, where she grew up, to Brazil and Florida, where she later lived--human connection with the natural world, questions of knowledge and perception, and the ability or inability of form to control chaos. <p/>This new edition offers readers the opportunity to take in, entire, one of the great careers in twentiethcentury poetry.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Bishop was not just a good poet but a great one. Bishop accomplished a magical illumination of the ordinary, forcing us to examine our surroundings with the freshness of a friendly alien." --<i>DAVID LEHMAN, Newsweek</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Elizabeth Bishop</b> (1911-79) won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award.</p>
