Sean Kim’s Reviews > One Art: Letters of Elizabeth Bishop > Status Update

In One Art, Elizabeth Bishop at first seems to frame loss as a learnable, masterable, disciplined, and cultivated school, but in fact loss in many ways is uncontrollable (or at least there's a limit to control), and so nothing that can't be controlled can be mastered. It's also interesting to see the author seems to build an argument with evidence building up to support a claim that exists to be undermined.
