Elizabeth Bishop (February 8, 1911 – October 6, 1979), was an American poet and writer. She is regarded as one of the finest 20th century poets writing in English.
Early life
Elizabeth Bishop was born in Worcester, Massachusetts to William Thomas Bishop and Gertrude Bulmer Bishop. Her father died when she was an infant; in the wake of that event, her mother descended into mental illness and was institutionalized. Bishop then lived with her Canadian Bulmer grandparents in Great Village, Nova Scotia, a period she remembered fondly and would later idealize. She later lived with her father's family in Boston, Massachusetts.
Bishop attended Walnut Hill School, and entered Vassar College in the fall of 1929, the year of the stock market crash. In 1933 she co-founded Con Spirito, a rebel literary magazine at Vassar, with Mary McCarthy (one year her senior), Margaret Miller, and the sisters Eunice and Eleanor Clark. Bishop graduated in 1934 and moved initially to New York City. Bishop was greatly influenced by Marianne Moore, to whom she was introduced by the librarian at Vassar. The friendship, memorialized by an extensive correspondence, endured until Moore's death.
