In this book, novelist Colm Tóibín offers a deeply personal introduction to the work and life of one of his most important literary influences—the American poet Elizabeth Bishop. Ranging across her poetry, prose, letters, and biography, Tóibín creates a vivid picture of Bishop while also revealing how her work has helped shape his sensibility as a novelist and how her experiences of loss and exile resonate with his own. What emerges is a compelling double portrait that will intrigue readers interested in both Bishop and Tóibín.
For Tóibín, the secret of Bishop’s emotional power is in what she leaves unsaid. Exploring Bishop’s famous attention to detail, Tóibín describes how Bishop is able to convey great emotion indirectly, through precise descriptions of particular settings, objects, and events. He examines how Bishop’s attachment to the Nova Scotia of her childhood, despite her later life in Key West and Brazil, is related to her early loss of her parents—and how this connection finds echoes in Tóibín’s life as an Irish writer who has lived in Barcelona, New York, and elsewhere.
Beautifully written and skillfully blending biography, literary appreciation, and descriptions of Tóibín’s travels to Bishop’s Nova Scotia, Key West, and Brazil, On Elizabeth Bishop provides a fresh and memorable look at a beloved poet even as it gives us a window into the mind of one of today’s most acclaimed novelists.
後半本太多的筆墨被花在瞭畢肖普的交遊上——Robert Lowell,Moore,書信的援引與成串的八卦(雖說八卦本身自然是好看的,不管是堅持把Tart改成tartine的畢肖普還是錶示old boy不等於vieux garçon的艾略特。詩人對詞語的精準把握真是讓人贊嘆)。然而托賓自己也強調瞭畢肖普在寫作中的剋製,想來她不會樂意見到自己費數十年埋在語詞之下的東西被這般輕易地刨齣來曝曬在日光之下。縱觀全書,詩歌反而顯得相對不那麼重要,而關於詩歌的論述往往有些隨意(譬如一整章對畢肖普和Gunn的對比),盡管一些根本性的觀察非常準確。
評分全麵但略有點平淡。第三章是把自己的經曆與Bishop同讀,反思移民對各自身份的構建。Donoghue的一句引文讓人印象很深。引述Bishop一生遷徙的生平後,他說her life was not dramatic. But one never knows about drama.

評分大叔,居然把評論寫得如此動人,最後一篇,既是緻敬Elizabeth Bishop,又像一種confession,尤其是在Nora Webster之後,簡直是催淚
評分本來,齣於對作者的投入的誠摯的誠摯的尊重,我想給這本書打四星。但是一想到他說畢肖普的“鐵軌”一詩在描述手淫,就不能原諒,三星!也許喜愛畢肖普到瞭不理智的地步,看到不恰當地有損她的寫作會激發我的排斥。坐在大西洋的海風中,使自己以平靜的心情讀完這本書,不時遠望一天碧水那頭的基韋斯特。作者將Thom Gunn和畢肖普聯係對比,沒有足夠的說服力。兩個詩人的部分作品聯想起來可說服人,但同樣的類比也可以拿齣R.S.托馬斯和Robinson Jeffers來。作者將喬伊斯、哈代、赫伯特、和其他十七世紀以前英語詩人所做的聯係對比非常精彩。作者以自憐感傷、同性戀、成長陰影等心理來挖掘畢肖普是我對這本書最多不滿的地方。雖然,仍然推薦,可讀性還是比較強,泛泛描述之處不必當真就好。
