"Bishop was not just a good poet but a great one. Bishop accomplished a magical illumination of the ordinary, forcing us to examine our surroundings with the freshness of a friendly alien." --DAVID LEHMAN, Newsweek

A Boston Globe Best Poetry Book of 2011

This is the definitive edition of the work of one of America's greatest poets, increasingly recognized as one of the greatest English-language poets of the twentieth century, loved by readers and poets alike. Bishop's poems combine humor and sadness, pain and acceptance, and observe nature and lives in perfect miniaturist close-up. The themes central to her poetry are geography and landscape--from New England, where she grew up, to Brazil and Florida, where she later lived--human connection with the natural world, questions of knowledge and perception, and the ability or inability of form to control chaos.

This new edition offers readers the opportunity to take in, entire, one of the great careers in twentiethcentury poetry.

伊丽莎白·毕肖普（Elizabeth Bishop）

继艾米莉·狄金森之后美国20世纪最重要、最有影响力的女诗人之一。

1911年生于美国马萨诸塞州。童年时，父亲去世，母亲进了精神病院，辗转被外祖父及叔伯抚养长大。奇特而悲伤的成长经历，让她的一生都在流浪和漫游中度过。不 仅曾在美国各地定居，还去过法国、墨西哥、巴西等地，直至晚年才应哈佛大学之邀，回美国任教。

1946年发表诗集《北与南》，一举成名。生前就被誉为“诗人中的诗人”。发表的诗作不多，但几乎囊括了美国所有重要的奖项，包括普利策奖、美国国家图书奖、古根海姆奖、美国国家书评奖等。1969年出版《诗全集》，奠定其杰出诗人的地位。1979年逝世，享年68岁。
