Some time has passed since I last posted an update about
the Elizabeth Bishop House and the progress of its sale. The five posts below
break this silence.
In July 2015, I agreed to write an essay about the history
of the house for an online academic literary journal in the United States.
As things turned out, the editor of that journal felt that what I had written
(which is the first account of the history of the house from
Bishop’s time to the present) was too long for their purposes. Since I did not
want to cut it substantially, I decided to withdraw it and post it as a multi-part essay on
this blog.
The essay brings the story of the house to October 2015, at which
time there had still been no offers for the house, even as the price had been
substantially reduced to $69,000 (http://remaxtruro.ca/listings/571/8740-hwy-2).
