In Thomas Travisano's new, wide-ranging biography, she emerges instead as a poet of gain upon gain, maker of an art grown from all she had lost in childhood.

The result is a biography that is full of�revelations, indispensable readings of the poems, no candle unlit in illuminating Bishop's writing life from childhood to her last year. This is an utterly captivating book.'��Howard Norman, author of The Ghost Clause'Thomas Travisano displays a particular mastery of the contexts of Elizabeth Bishop�s life and art. He offers much new and precisely evaluated insight into Bishop�s family, friends and communities. Travisano ends his biography in a truly Bishop-like fashion�with a funny and incisive story, a story that shows how well he appreciates and can emulate Bishop�s singular and deceptive casualness of tone.'��Lorrie Goldensohn, author of Elizabeth Bishop: The Biography of a Poetry Read more About the Author Thomas Travisano�is the founding president of the Elizabeth Bishop Society and the author of�Elizabeth Bishop: Her Artistic Development�and�Midcentury Quartet:�Bishop, Lowell, Jarrell, Berryman.�He is principal editor of the acclaimed�Words in Air: The Complete Correspondence Between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell�and served as co-editor of�Elizabeth Bishop in the 21st�Century�and the three-volume�New Anthology of American Poetry.
