Bishop said that conversation with Lowell left her feeling &#8220;picked up again to the proper table-land of poetry,&#8221; and she once begged him, &#8220;Please never stop writing me letters&#8212;they always manage to make me feel like my higher self (I&#8217;ve been re-reading Emerson) for several days.&#8221; Neither ever stopped writing letters, from their first meeting in 1947 when both were young, newly launched poets until Lowell&#8217;s death in 1977. The substantial, revealing&#8212;and often very funny&#8212;interchange that they produced stands as a remarkable collective achievement, notable for its sustained conversational brilliance of style, its wealth of literary history, its incisive snapshots and portraits of people and places, and its delicious literary gossip, as well as for the window it opens into the unfolding human and artistic drama of two of America&#8217;s most beloved and influential poets.</div></div> 3151608 14 10 2008 Words in Air: The Complete Correspondence Between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell total:64|5:31|4:16|3:14|2:2|1:1| 64 266 348 28 2 4 false false Sun Apr 12 21:52:14 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 06:30:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Thu Dec 11 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 05 17:12:53 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 05:43:53 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Dec 19 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 17:58:54 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 05:49:38 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jan 08 06:00:33 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 06:00:33 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jul 19 20:26:23 -0700 2009 Fri Jan 16 19:09:13 -0800 2009 Sun Jul 19 20:26:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 16 19:17:26 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 19:20:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Mar 29 05:35:53 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 08:54:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Dec 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 07 15:14:09 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 15:23:50 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Feb 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 22 14:59:16 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 14 21:39:39 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed May 13 18:48:28 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 18:51:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 11 12:38:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 13:22:23 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Dec 28 17:05:43 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 17:06:22 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Feb 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 17 13:37:16 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 09 13:40:45 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Dec 17 04:15:41 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 04:16:06 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Feb 24 22:34:29 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 12:07:39 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 02 16:22:48 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 16:23:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Feb 27 10:53:50 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 10:54:27 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Dec 28 22:29:31 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 28 22:29:56 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 30 19:51:07 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 30 19:51:22 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sat Nov 08 12:38:17 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 21:17:33 -0800 2008 more...]]> http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3120276
