Elizabeth Bishop's Poetics of Intimacy is one of the first books to delve extensively into the Bishop archives. Making wider use of Bishop's unpublished work than any other book, Harrison explores Bishop's childhood memoirs, journals, letters, Brazilian travel prose, unfinished poems, and draft material. The reproduction of these archival materials--with revisions, cancelled lines, notes--shows a mind at work and a career in evolution.  « less Post This Book Login | Register ISBN-13: 9780521432030 ISBN-10: 0521432030 Publication Date: 1/29/1993 Pages: 268 Rating: Currently 0/5 Stars.   ? 0 stars, based on 0 rating Publisher: Cambridge University Press Book Type: Hardcover Other Versions: Paperback Members Wishing: 0 Reviews: Amazon | Write a Review
