Today in Bishop, etc.

This quotidian feature of the EB100 Blog is drawn from various sources: Bishop's poetry and fiction, her correspondence, scholarly articles about her, and the lives and works of her many friends and colleagues. The "Today's Video" section presents visualizations of Bishop's work from all over the world. "Today's Translation" was chosen at random from amongst the many done of Bishop's poetry and prose throughout the world.

All this is by nature ephemeral. We hope it will reward a daily visit, but if you've missed an entry it may be possible to find a cached copy here (be sure to check the cached copy at the end of the individual citation; clicking the title line will merely take you back to the current day's entry), or by entering the phrase "Today in Bishop" and the date, both phrases enclosed in quotation marks, in the search window of your favourite browser. Good luck!
