Rare and Commonplace Flowers
The gripping story of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Elizabeth Bishop and her relationship with the extraordinary Brazilian woman Lota de Macedo Soares.
Flores raras e banalíssimas
Em dezembro de 1951, Elizabeth Bishop desembarcou no Rio para uma escala de dois dias de uma longa viagem cujo objetivo era encontrar um sentido para sua vida em crise. Encontrou Lota de Macedo Soares, e sua estadia acabou se prolongando por 16 anos. Em Flores raras e banalíssimas, Carmen L. Oliveira conta a história do relacionamento entre a poeta americana e a paisagista e urbanista brasileira. Assumindo a homossexualidade com surpreendente naturalidade para a época, Lota e Bishop viveram um irradiante e, muitas vezes, conturbado romance, sempre cercadas de figuras marcantes da arte e da política. Na casa de campo de Samambaia e no apartamento de Copacabana, Bishop escreveu boa parte d...

Diga toda a verdade
Carmen L. Oliveira procura abordar, nesta coletânea de contos, uma temática considerada rara à literatura brasileira - o amor entre mulheres. Em 'Diga toda a verdade, em modo oblíquo', a autora tem por objetivo levar para a ficção uma narrativa conhecido com uma dose de originalidade, e busca construir universos íntimos exuberantes nos quais os detalhes são peças-chave.
Elizabeth Bishop in the 21st Century
In recent years, a series of major collections of posthumous writings by Elizabeth Bishop--one of the most widely read and discussed poets of the twentieth century--have been published, profoundly affecting how we look at her life and work. The hundreds of letters, poems, and other writings in these volumes have expanded Bishop's published work by well over a thousand pages and placed before the public a "new" Bishop whose complexity was previously familiar to only a small circle of scholars and devoted readers. This collection of essays by many of the leading figures in Bishop studies provides a deep and multifaceted account of the impact of these new editions and how they both enlarge and ...
Elizabeth Bishop in Brazil and After
The life and career of American poet and writer Elizabeth Bishop falls into two distinct segments: the pre-Brazil years and the Brazil years and beyond. A creature of displacement from childhood, Bishop traveled to Brazil at the age of 40 for a two-week trip and unexpectedly stayed for most of the next two decades, a sojourn that marked her work indelibly. This study explores how Bishop's personal and literary experience in Brazil influenced her work culturally, historically, and linguistically, while she was in Brazil and following her return to the United States. Focusing on the "Brazilian" characteristics of Bishop's work as well as some of the major poems she composed before settling in Brazil, this volume offers fresh perspective on one of the 20th century's most celebrated writers.
American Biography
This collection of reviews, selected from Rollyson's New York Sun column, is as much about the romance of biography as it is about the American lives. Certain concerns resonate throughout the book: the American left's failure to reckon with Communist subversion, McCarthyism, and Stalinism, the problematic nature of authorized biography, the history of American biography, definitive biographies, literary biography, the differences between autobiography and biography, the importance of interviews in biographies of contemporary figures, the differences between history and biography, comparative biographies, the virtues of short biographies and of biographies for children, the tendency of biogra...
Light in the Dark Room
A young boy, thin and ill, feeds his small brother in a ritualized act of desperation, half-stifling him. The boy will be treated, his father will get a job, and the family will be moved from their shack in the slums of Rio de Janeiro to a suburban house, courtesy of the American viewers of Gordon Parks's photographs in Life magazine. It all turned
Elizabeth Bishop and Translation
The book examines the relationship between translation and original creation in the works of the American poet Elizabeth Bishop, suggesting that translation can be seen as a poetic principle which can be related to the poet’s original works, too. The book offers a detailed discussion of all the translation projects Bishop undertook throughout her life (from Ancient Greek, French, Portuguese and Spanish), both published and unpublished. They are seen in the context of her life and work, and analyzed with particular regard for the features which are relevant in relationship to Bishop’s own works. Bishop’s work as a translator has not been explored thoroughly yet, despite the huge critica...
