Elizabeth Bishop
A poet's newly found treasures
BY KERRY FRIED
EDGAR ALLAN POE & THE JUKE-BOX: Uncollected Poems, Drafts, and Fragments, by Elizabeth Bishop.
When Elizabeth Bishop died suddenly in 1979, she left behind fewer than 100 poems. Readers longed for more but had one consolation: Her great and guarded poetry of unbelonging would trump a giant, patchy output any day of the week.
