Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEAR FINE condition (slight tear to top of spine). "When she met Robert Lowell in 1947, Elizabeth Bishop wrote that she 'loved him at first sight. He was living in a basement room on Third Avenue--and he was rather untidy. He was wearing a rumpled dark blue suit; I remember the sad state of his shoes; he needed a haircut, and he was very handsome--in an almost old-fashioned poetic way. I took to him at once.' Lowell was equally taken by Bishop--'No one is as interesting to know'--and wrote that she had 'more to offer, I think, than anyone writing poetry in English.' The candid, affectionate, complex, and loving friendship of two American poets is recorded in letters written over three decades, collected here for the first time in their entirety. It begins after the publication of their first books, when they were 'mischievous as children about the figures they most held in awe,' and ends only with Lowell's death." [jacket copy] "Bishop and Lowell were two of the major poets of postwar America. From the time they met in 1947 at a party thrown by their mutual friend and poet, Randall Jarrell, through the end of Lowell's life in 1977, the pair--who saw each other rarely but considered themselves intimate friends--maintained a steady correspondence about literature and their turbulent lives and their own complicated, at times flirtatious friendship. Lowell was manic-depressive and embroiled in two volatile marriages, while Bishop also suffered depression and more than her share of loss, including the suicide of her longtime lover. Many of their now famous letters, previously available in separate volumes, appear here in one volume, their exchanges preserved in the order they were sent and received. Throughout this momentous volume, transcendence comes to these two often troubled writers through the shared experience of art that brought them together and sustained them: 'If only one could see everything that way all the time!,' writes Bishop in 1957, 'that rare feeling of control, illumination--life is all right, for the time being.'"--Publishers Weekly.
