Original voice given to Bishop’s poems
The Whitney Humanities Center auditorium was packed last night as poets, critics, musicians and lovers of literature gathered to celebrate a new book within the Library of America series of the writings of Elizabeth Bishop.
Professor J.D. McClatchy, who edits the Yale Review, introduced the event, acknowledging that while the guests had all come to discuss Bishop’s work, their real motivation was to hear her voice.
