Yet her notebooks reveal that she embarked upon many more compositions, some existing in only fragmentary form and some embodied in extensive drafts. <i>Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box</i> presents, alongside facsimiles of many notebook pages from which they are drawn, poems Bishop began soon after college, reflecting her passion for Elizabethan verse and surrealist technique; love poems and dream fragments from the 1940s; poems about her Canadian childhood; and many other works that heretofore have been quoted almost exclusively in biographical and critical studies.</div><div> </div><div>This revelatory and moving selection brings us into the poet's laboratory, showing us the initial provocative images that moved Bishop to begin a poem, illustrating terrain unexplored in the work published during her lifetime. Editor Alice Quinn has also mined the Bishop archives for rich tangential material that illuminates the poet's sources and intentions.</div> 848622 2006 Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box: Uncollected Poems, Drafts, and Fragments total:119|5:30|4:45|3:34|2:7|1:3| 119 449 192 14 1514712 0374146454 9780374146450 4 1 3.77 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184543362m/1514712.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1514712.Edgar_Allan_Poe_The_Juke_Box_Uncollected_Poems_Drafts_and_Fragments 3 1 false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sun Jul 15 16:49:23 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 17:02:57 -0700 2007
