From the publisher

Elizabeth Bishop dedicated her poetry to telling "what really happened." Yet what really happened in the life on one of the twentieth century's finest and most beloved American poets has eluded readers for years. In this first full biography, Brett Millier pieces together the compelling and painful story of Bishop's life and traces the writing of her brilliantly crafted poems.

First line

NOT UNTIL 1952, when she set up a table and happy life in the household of Lota de Macedo Soares,could Elizabeth Bishop take objective account and make direct artistic use of her difficult childhood.

From the rear cover

Brett Millier pieces together the compelling and painful story of Bishop's life and traces the writing of her brilliantly crafted poems.
