Elizabeth Bishop was a lauded poet who, due to her sporadic and fairly small published output, was not as well-known as some of her contemporaries: John Ashbery, Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell. In the years since her death, her stature has grown remarkably. These 39 poems were selected by Professor Vendler as her most important and most representative.
John Newman is a New York sculptor who considers Ornette Coleman, Mel Bochner, Barry Le Va, Dorothea Rockburne, Eva Hesse, and Richard Tuttle as influences.
