Stasha Neagu’s Reviews > Words in Air: The Complete Correspondence Between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell > Status Update

The correspondence reads like a novel , a story of a relationship, both deeply personal and professional, between the two remarkable modern poets and intellectuals. It covers 30 years of their lives as intimate friends, fellow poets, literary reviewers, academic lecturers, travellers and cross-cultural explorers. Juicy bits of gossip of the rich literary scene between 50s-70s is quite enjoyable.
