Elizabeth Bishop was a well-known American poet, famous for her amusing style of writing poems. During her early days, she was interested in music and went to a music school in Massachusetts where she wrote some poems for the school magazine. Her stage fear compelled her to drop her dream of being a composer and turn to pursue a career in writing. During her college, she published some poems in the college magazine and was critically appreciated by her peers. This encouraged her to become a co-founder of the literary magazine ‘Con Spirito’. She met great poets like ‘Marianne Moore’ and ‘Robert Dowell’ and was inspired by them. Moore had a great influence on Bishop’s life and acted as her mentor, and also took great interest in her literary works. Although she is seen as a poet who wrote at her own pace and has not written more than 100 poems but her works fascinated the masses. She was honored with the ‘Pulitzer Prize’ for her poetry book ‘North and South’ and she also won the ‘National Book Award’ for poetry. Her thoughts, quotes, writings, poems and work still have a large readership. We bring to you a compilation of famous thoughts and quotes by Elizabeth Bishop.
