I am a professional singer who recently has become a great admirer of Elizabeth Bishop's writing. I am also fond of walking and nature. I became involved with the Elizabeth Bishop Centenary because I wanted to have her poems set to music so that I could sing them.

It was a great, great evening, made especially memorable by the wonderful readers, including Mark Strand (who, like E.B., has childhood Nova Scotia connections.) Special appreciation to Alice Quinn and the Poetry Society of America for this very special event.
