Review

"Harrison makes exciting use of drafts of Bishop's poetry, unpublished journal entries, and letters....Harrison's work is strong throughout....[She] is also a fine reader of poems." Cristanne Miller, The New England Quarterly

"Harrison's painstaking attention to Bishop's published and unpublished writing, drafts, letters, notebooks, fragments, marginalia and archival materials, some heretofore unexamined, and her equally careful methodology have the personal poetics of a complex figure sho has come into her own." Jean H. Wilson, Studies in the Humanities

"Harrison is strong, alert, and sometimes downright revelatory when engaged with poems and stories (especially unpublished writings) that deal with Bishop's inner-conflicts about sexuality, anger, politics, and culture....[T]his challenging contribution to Bishop studies is strongly recommended for advanced undergraduates, graduates, and faculty."
