Bishop said that conversation with Lowell left her feeling \"picked up again to the proper table-land of poetry,\" and she once begged him, \"Please never stop writing me letters--they always manage to make me feel like my higher self (I've been re-reading Emerson) for several days.\" Neither ever stopped writing letters, from their first meeting in 1947 when both were young, newly launched poets until Lowell's death in 1977. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Presented in \u003ci\u003eWords in Air\u003c\/i\u003e is the complete correspondence between Bishop and Lowell. The substantial, revealing--and often very funny--interchange that they produced stands as a remarkable collective achievement, notable for its sustained conversational brilliance of style, its wealth of literary history, its incisive snapshots and portraits of people and places, and its delicious literary gossip, as well as for the window it opens into the unfolding human and artistic drama of two of America's most beloved and influential poets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Lowell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374531897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374531898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.26w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/30\/2010 pg. 20","brand":"Elizabeth Bishop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045146325247,"sku":"9780374531898","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8739efe1-b988-41cf-b3cb-4427946ccf42.jpg?v=1684977007","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/words-in-air-elizabeth-bishop-9780374531898","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
