'Perhaps you thought you knew Elizabeth Bishop's work: I did. This book proves me gloriously wrong. These essays present a Bishop brilliantly and subtly dynamised for the 21st century--a funnier, sharper, messier, more mysterious and more profound poet than even her longtime admirers might have thought.

'Perhaps you thought you knew Elizabeth Bishop's work: I did. This book proves me gloriously wrong. These essays present a Bishop brilliantly and subtly dynamised for the 21st century--a funnier, sharper, messier, more mysterious and more profound poet than even her longtime admirers might have thought. Informed by recent archival discoveries, ongoing editorial work, and critical élan, Jonathan Ellis and his contributors powerfully and variously re-open "the case of Bishop," with ramifying implications for poetics more generally.' Maureen N. McLane, New York University A comprehensive and original guide to Elizabeth Bishop's poetry and other writing, including correspondence, literary criticism, prose fiction and visual art Celebrating Elizabeth Bishop as an international writer with allegiances to various countries and national traditions, this collection of essays explores how Bishop moves between literal geographies like Nova Scotia, New England, Key West and Brazil and more philosophical categories like home and elsewhere, human and animal, insider and outsider. The book covers all aspects and periods of the author's career, from her early writing in the 1930s to the late poems finished after Geography III and those works published after her death. It also examines how Bishop's work has been read and reinterpreted by contemporary writers. Jonathan Ellis is Reader in American Literature at Sheffield University.
