By offering a fresh look at Bishop criticism that has moved from
purely formal concerns and postmodern interpretations to more
recent feminist analysis, Victoria Harrison traces Bishop's career,
dividing Bishop's work into three chronological periods of
activity: her early work, her writing in Brazil, and her late
retrospective verse. By examining letters and notebooks, Harrison
unfolds the biographical events that influenced Bishop's poetic
style, addressing her treatment of such topics as family relations,
history, politics, war, love, sexuality, and ethnic differences.
Elizabeth Bishop's Poetics of Intimacy is one of the first books to
delve extensively into the Bishop archives. Making wider use of
Bishop's unpublished work than any other book, Harrison explores
Bishop's childhood memoirs, journals, letters, Brazilian travel
prose, unfinished poems, and draft material. The reproduction of
these archival materials--with revisions, cancelled lines,
notes--shows a mind at work and a career in evolution.
