Review:
" The extraordinary thing about Miss Bishop is that she is both a public and a private poet, or perhaps her poetry by its very existence renders obsolete these two after all artificial distinctions (artificial insofar as poetry is concerned). The private self -- the quirkiness, the rightness of vision, the special sights and events (a moose, a filling station) that have intrigued Miss Bishop to the point of poetry -- melts imperceptibly into the larger utterance, the grandeur of poetry, which, because it remains rooted in everyday particulars, never sounds ' grand, ' but is as quietly convincing as everyday speech. " -- John Ashbery & nbsp; " Through masterful fusions of& nbsp; metaphor, Bishop creates a new world and resolves and dissolves its differences in the dazzling dialectic of her vision. " -- Jane Shore, Ploughshares
