Customer Review #1:
 Fantastic Read
As a lover of writing and reading light peotry, Elizabeth Bishop adds a whimsical twist in her writing. It was truly a fun read and I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the challenge and play on words of a well written poem.

lt;br /gt;Good Reading!

Customer Review #2:
Beautiful words by a master poet
Poetrys allure is its ability to capture the essence of a moment: a picture in time, an emotion, a look. More than any other American poet, Elizabeth Bishop was able to do this, as her _Complete Poems_ illustrates. Regardless of poetic form she consistently is able to distill and share her unique vision of the world. It is a pity that there is not more of her work; the poetry she left us is beautiful and brilliant.

Customer Review #3:
a brilliant collection by an equally brilliant poet
This is a beautifully comprehensive collection of Bishops work, complete with translations from Portuguese (she spent much of her adult life in Brazil) and verses she wrote in her youth that will be new to most readers.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Bishop wrote far less than most of her contemporaries, but the work in this slim volume cements her (at least in my mind!) as one of the foremost female poets of her generation.
