Author: Elizabeth Bishop
Profile: Elizabeth Bishop was an American short-story writer and poet. From the year 1949 to 1950 she was a Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. She was born in Worchester, Massachusetts, United States and died in Lewis Wharf. From the year 1970 to 1977 she taught writing at Harvard University. In 1976 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her partner from 1952-1967 was Lota de Macedo Soares and from 1971-1979 was Alice Methfessel.
She graduated in 1934 from Vassar College and often travelled to Florida and Mexico. The divided nature of allegiances of Bishop born and reared in New England and then in Nova Scotia, is captured by her in her first book of poems. New England’s conscience in a frigid-tropical dichotomy in a tropical sphere is addressed in much of her later work
Writing style: Elizabeth Bishop is well known for her descriptive, witty and polished verse.
