Wybór wierszy jednej z najważniejszych postaci anglojęzycznej literatury w znakomitych przekładach Andrzeja Sosnowskiego. Poezja formalnie wyrafinowana, choć powściągliwa, osobna, wręcz awangardowa, a zarazem niesłychanie prosta, uważna, komunikująca się świetnie z każdym z nas. Zbiór udowadnia, że bez Elizabeth Bishop trudno wyobrazić sobie najnowszą poezję światową, a przekłady Sosnowskiego zaskakująco świeżo po Barańczakowskich osadzają idiom poetki we współczesnej polszczyźnie. Wydanie książki dofinansowano ze środków Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego pochodzących z Funduszu Promocji Kultury.

Before becoming a Pulitzer-Prize winning writer, Elizabeth Bishop lived with her Gammie and Pa, learning to walk, read, and write.

Wybór obejmuje najważniejsze teksty prozatorskie Elbizabeth Bishop, które ukazały się w formie książkowej dopiero po jej śmierci i stanowią istotne dopełnienie jej twórczości poetyckiej. Bohaterów tych imponujących klarownością opowiadań i szkiców łączy poczucie wyobcowania, ale też umiejętność intensywnego doświadczania dziwności świata. W swych autobiograficznych wspomnieniach autorka rozprawia się o wiele bardziej otwarcie niż w wierszach z demonami przeszłości, ale też okazuje się uważną, wyczuloną na detal obserwatorką pejzaży, zdarzeń, ludzi i ich dzieł. I choć ostatecznie to poezja uczyniła Bishop jedną z najważniejszych amerykańskich autorek XX wieku, to w pisanych przez nią w ciągu czterech dekad prozach odnajdziemy zapis nie mniej fascynujących literackich światów.

Embodying Theory: Epistemology, Aesthetics and Resistance offers a series of writings and images to make theory walk, recasting major post-structural and deconstructive thought in order to explore spheres of action in the educational, the sociopolitical, the ethical, the aesthetic and the academic.

Die amerikanische Lyrikerin Elizabeth Bishop ist hierzulande noch wenig bekannt. Sie war eine ruhelose Seele: Ohne Eltern aufgewachsen, reiste sie von Neuschottland nach Florida, und von dort weiter nach Brasilien. Die einzige Heimat, die sie fand, war die Sprache. Die verblüffenden Bilderwelten ihrer Gedichte ziehen den Leser in den Bann: traumhafte Eisberge und phantastische Landkarten, aber auch Unkraut, das sich in einem Herzen einnistet. Traurigkeit und Genauigkeit, Sehnsucht und Strenge – Bishops Wortkunst hat die Zeit überdauert. Sie kann nun in einer umfassenden zweisprachigen Ausgabe, in der glänzenden Übersetzung von Steffen Popp, bewundert werden.

Becoming Activist is a revolutionary study of youth human rights activism and literacy learning. The book follows five urban youth organizers from the Drop Knowledge Project in New York City and offers insight into conducting literacy work to promote positive youth and community development.

Elizabeth Bishop's prose is not nearly as well known as her poetry, but she was a dazzling and compelling prose writer too, as the publication of her letters has shown. Her stories are often on the borderline of memoir, and vice versa. From her college days, she could find the most astonishing yet thoroughly apt metaphors to illuminate her ideas. This volume—edited by the poet, Pulitzer Prize–winning critic, and Bishop scholar Lloyd Schwartz—includes virtually all her published shorter prose pieces and a number of prose works not published until after her death. Here are her famous as well as her lesser-known stories, crucial memoirs, literary and travel essays, book reviews, and—for the first time—her original draft of Brazil, the Time/Life volume she repudiated in its published version, and the correspondence between Bishop and the poet Anne Stevenson, the author of the first book-length volume devoted to Bishop.

This collection showcases the remarkable poetry of Elizabeth Bishop, celebrated for her emotional depth and formal precision. It includes all her published works, unpublished poems, translations, and a selection of her prose and letters, offering a comprehensive view of her literary legacy and influence in American poetry.

Výbor z próz významné americké básnířky 20. století. Pro její povídky a vzpomínkové texty, podobně jako pro její poezii, jsou typické přesné popisy krajin a zvířat, smysl pro detail a jemný humor, s nímž pozoruje okolní svět, humor, který se ovšem často pojí s podtónem úzkosti a smutku.

Básně Elizabeth Bishopové (1911–1979), jedné z nejvýznamnějších osobností americké poezie 20. stol., vycházejí česky poprvé. Jejich jemná ironická poetika je protipólem exaltované whitmanovské linie a představuje u nás málo známou, avšak zásadní polohu amerického básnictví. Výbor z básní a korespondence uspořádala a přeložila Mariana Housková.

Elizabeth Bishop was vehement about her art--a perfectionist who didn't want to be seen as a "woman poet." In 1977, two years before her death she wrote, "art is art and to separate writings, paintings, musical compositions, etc., into two sexes is to emphasize values in them that are not art." She also deeply distrusted the dominant mode of modern poetry, one practiced with such detached passion by her friend Robert Lowell, the confessional. Bishop was unforgiving of fashion and limited ways of seeing and feeling, but cast an even more trenchant eye on her own work. One wishes this volume were thicker, though the perfections within mark the rightness of her approach. The poems are sublimely controlled, fraught with word play, fierce moral vision (see her caustic ballad on Ezra Pound, "Visits to St. Elizabeths"), and reticence. From the surreal sorrow of the early "Man-Moth" (leaping off from a typo she had come across for "mammoth"), about a lonely monster who rarely emerges from "the pale subways of cement he calls his home," to the beauty of her villanelle "One Art" (with its repeated "the art of losing isn't hard to master"), the poet wittily explores distance and desolation, separation and sorrow.
