Philip Bliss’s Reviews > One Art: Letters of Elizabeth Bishop > Status Update

I have a huge hot take regarding the poem "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop. The author is actually in disbelief. The fact that she has to constantly repeat the fact that it is easy to accept defeat and that she has to consistently try to convince herself alludes to the fact that she does not even believe what she is saying. There's a clear tone of irony in the fact that it is actually not easy to accept loses.
