Bishop arrived in
Brazil in late 1951. In early 1952 she began her long residency. She lived
there for over fifteen years with Lota de Macedo Soares. Lota was building an
ultra-modern house in Samambaia, near Petropolis, and one of the first things
Lota did for Bishop was build her a studio. “Song for the Rainy Season” evokes
the natural landscape (flora, fauna, weather) around the first real “home”
Bishop had in her adult life, a home that reminded her of Great Village. Bishop
travelled far away from Nova Scotia and New England, a long sea journey, and
unexpectedly found a beautiful, inspiring place to settle in. What did she do
first? She wrote about her childhood.
