Elizabeth Bishop in Key West: Birthday Count Down

Elizabeth Bishop first came to Key West in the 1930s. She lived in this nineteenth-century clapboard eyebrow house at 624 White Street off and on from 1938 to 1946. In a letter to Marianne Moore she wrote: "It is very nice here; I wish so much that you and your mother could come here sometime, I am so sure you would like it. The sea is so beautiful– all spotted and striped, from dark black-blue to what my aunt calls 'lettuce' green."

Key West is the site of a wonderful writers' conference: Key West Literary Seminars each January. One of these years I very much hope to visit. There was a session on Bishop at AWP, 
the same time as my flight left. Anyone catch it and want to report?
