Love Unknown: The Life and Worlds of Elizabeth Bishop by Thomas Travisano (Engli

Description: Love Unknown by Thomas Travisano Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An illuminating new biography of Elizabeth Bishop, one of the greatest American poets of the twentieth centuryElizabeth Bishops friend James Merrill once observed that "Elizabeth had more talent for life--and for poetry--than anyone else Ive known." This new biography reveals just how she learned to marry her talent for life with her talent for writing in order to create a brilliant array of poems, prose, and letters--a remarkable body of work that would make her one of Americas most beloved and respected poets. In Love Unknown, Thomas Travisano, founding president of the Elizabeth Bishop Society, tells the story of the famous poet and travelers life.As a child, Bishop lost her father to Brights disease, then her mother to a mental breakdown--losses that would undeniably shape her view of the world. A keen observer of human nature even then, she honed her talent through adolescence as she moved between Massachusetts and Nova Scotia, then firmly established herself as a poet during her time at Vassar College. Bishop moved through extraordinary mid-twentieth-century worlds with relationships among an international network of literati, visual artists, musicians, scholars, and politicians--along with a cosmopolitan gay underground that was then nearly invisible to the dominant culture. Drawing on fresh interviews and newly discovered manuscript materials, Travisano illuminates that the "art of losing" that Bishop celebrated with such poignant irony in her poem, "One Art," perhaps her most famous, was linked in equal part to an "art of finding," that Bishops art and life was devoted to the sort of encounters and epiphanies that so often appear in her work.
