American poet Elizabeth Bishop possessed an extensive relationship with The New Yorker over the duration of her writing career, publishing the vast majority of her poems in the magazine's pages. During forty-years of correspondence, hundreds of letters passed between Bishop and her editors, Charles Pearce, Katharine White, and Howard Moss. In these letters Bishop discussed the ideas and inspiration for her poems while sharing news about her travels and life in Brazil. In return, her editors offered generous support, commentary, and friendship. Elizabeth Bishop and The New Yorker, masterfully edited by Biele, provides an unparalleled look into Bishop's writing process, the relationship between a poet and her editors, the internal workings of The New Yorker, and the process of publishing a poem. http://www.fsgpoetry.com/fsg/2010/04/elizabeth-bishop-and-the-new-yorker.html
