Elizabeth Bishop and the Music of Literature brings together the
latest understandings of how central music was to Bishop's writing.
This collection considers Bishop's reworking of metrical and
rhythmic forms of poetry; the increasing presence of prosaic
utterances into speech-soundscapes; how musical poetry intones new
modes of thinking through aural vision; how Bishop transforms
traditionally distasteful tones of violence, banality, and commerce
into innovative poetry; how her diverse, lifelong musical education
(North American, European, Brazilian) affects her work; and also
how her diverse musical settings have inspired global contemporary
composers. The essays flesh out the missing elements of music,
sound, and voice in previous research that are crucial to
understanding how Bishop's writing continues to dazzle readers and
inspire artists in surprising ways.
