From the mid-1930s to 1978 Elizabeth Bishop published some ninety
poems and thirty translations. Yet her notebooks reveal that she
embarked upon many more compositions, some existing in only
fragmentary form and some embodied in extensive drafts. "Edgar
Allan Poe & The Juke-Box" presents, alongside facsimiles of
many notebook pages from which they are drawn, poems Bishop began
soon after college, reflecting her passion for Elizabethan verse
and surrealist technique; love poems and dream fragments from the
1940s; poems about her Canadian childhood; and many other works
that heretofore have been quoted almost exclusively in biographical
and critical studies. This revelatory and moving selection brings
us into the poet's laboratory, showing us the initial provocative
images that moved Bishop to begin a poem, illustrating terrain
unexplored in the work published during her lifetime. Editor Alice
Quinn has also mined the Bishop archives for rich tangential
material that illuminates the poet's sources and intentions.
