Bishop published the vast majority of her poems in the magazine's pages, and her relationship with the magazine went back to 1933 and continued until her death in 1979. During forty years of correspondence, hundreds of letters passed between Bishop and her editors, Charles Pearce, Katharine White, and Howard Moss. In these letters Bishop discussed the ideas and inspiration for her poems while sharing news about her travels and life in Brazil, while her editors offered generous support, commentary, and friendship. Their correspondence provides an unparalleled look into Bishop's writing process, the relationship between a poet and her editors, the internal workings of The New Yorker, and the process of publishing a poem. As these poems and stories move from manuscript page to print, Elizabeth Bishop and The New Yorker gives us a rare glimpse into the artistic development of one of the twentieth century's greatest poets.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49985345454353,"sku":"CIN0374281386G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50111970443537,"sku":"CIN0374281386VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50266697990417,"sku":"GOR009530795","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50285376340241,"sku":"GOR008898663","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51283833946385,"sku":"GOR014216353","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0374281386.jpg?v=1786109666"},{"product_id":"white-summer-book-joelle-biele-9780809324682","title":"White Summer","description":"In White Summer, Joelle Biele investigates the problems of personal and cultural memory. Rich with images of flight and displacement, Biele's poems show a love for words, their music and physicality. In lyric addresses, historical meditations, and autobiographical narratives, she takes readers on a journey that includes stops at a dinner party in ancient Rome, a market square in Germany, an Italian feast in the Bronx, and the main concourse of Manhattan's Grand Central Station. She shows a sharp eye for the telling detail whether she is studying the migrations of birds or sketching portraits of people wishing to escape the confines of their lives. Throughout her first collection, Biele reveals and revels in the power of language to shape and create experience.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50953871065361,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50953871556881,"sku":"CIN0809324687VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0809324687.jpg?v=1786129612"},{"product_id":"tramp-book-joelle-biele-9780807167892","title":"Tramp","description":"Using newspaper accounts and court records from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Joelle Biele's poems tell the personal stories of women who left their homes and families to tramp the roads and rails.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007687852305,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007691555089,"sku":"NIN9780807167892","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807167894.jpg?v=1762598056"},{"product_id":"broom-book-joelle-biele-9781599540856","title":"Broom","description":"Poetry. Bilingual Edition. English to Italian translation by Irene Marchegiani and Emanuele Pettener. Reading Joelle Biele's masterful second book, BROM, I am ruptured into spring--alive, alive, oh, and in love with the sheer exuberance of the poems' lyric intensity. BROM is a book to fly away on, bewitched by shifting rhythms and the incantatory surge of a music rare in today's poetry. These are fast-moving poems, one perception immediately leading to a further perception. There's a marvelous nervosity to BROM, a rush radiating the high energy discharge of a whole field of gorse or BROM in flower, 'this morning's minion' of dazzle and shine--for the ear as well as the eye.--Susan Mitchell\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhat is more intimate than a parent's correspondence with a child? In BROM, Joelle Biele gives us poems that chronicle the first years of two of her children, poems equally tender and candid, secured by the rigors of their formal designs and the watchful hand and eye of the mother. The domestic narrative, however, Biele adds a further poetic trope, creating in BROM a king of parental sublime. Precarious life and the proximity of harm, or simply the million smaller terrors witnessed by any watchful parent, are part of the larger beautiful scene of the extended family unit. Sometimes things are so fraught 'we must look away'; sometimes we fall where 'the tide swallows everything whole'; yet sometimes, like a 'floating angel, ' we may strike that particular balance, ravishing if temporary, where we 'hover. weightless, ' suspended in the moment of 'what it is to be present while still here on earth.' BROM is a gift that awaits Biele's children, but it is ours to discover and relish right now.--David Baker","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52338293801233,"sku":"NLS9781599540856","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52751708979473,"sku":"NIN9781599540856","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781599540856.jpg?v=1758168587"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-joelle-biele.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
