| Publisher Description: Bishop's attentive poetic gaze unfailingly reveals the luminous. In Interval, her poems - many addressed to a lover, or to children - explore intimacy, solitude and the 'chemical mess' of human love. As Carl Phillips said of Event, 'These are splendid poems indeed, whose intelligence, vision, and sheer beauty at every turn persuade.' |
