Bishop spent over
fifteen years in Brazil, but her love of Nova Scotia, her childhood home,
remained strong, as she expressed in “Dear, My Compass,” a brief, never
published love poem. Her memories of her Nova Scotia childhood were never far
from her mind and remained vivid and vital throughout her life. She created
what might be called an illuminated manuscript of this poem, writing it out and
illustrating it with all the images it mentions, the only poem, it appears,
that she visually embellished in this way. Natallia has done justice to Bishop’s
own sense of whimsy in her charming drawing.
