"Love Unknown points movingly to the many relationships that moored Bishop, keeping her together even as life-and her own self-destructive tendencies-threatened to split her apart." -The Wall Street Journal
Elizabeth Bishop's friend James Merrill once observed that "Elizabeth had more talent for life-and for poetry-than anyone else I've known." This new biography reveals just how she learned to marry her talent for life with her talent for writing in order to create a brilliant array of poems, prose, and letters-a remarkable body of work that would make her one of America's most beloved and celebrated poets. In Love Unknown, Thomas Travisano, founding president of the Elizabeth Bishop Society, tells the story of the famous poet and traveler's life.
Bishop moved through extraordinary mid-twentieth century worlds with relationships among an extensive international array of literati, visual artists, musicians, scholars, and politicians-along with a cosmopolitan gay underground that was then nearly invisible to the dominant culture. Drawing on fresh interviews and newly discovered manuscript materials, Travisano illuminates that the "art of losing" that Bishop celebrated with such poignant irony in her poem, "One Art," perhaps her most famous, was linked in equal part to an "art of finding," that Bishop's art and life was devoted to the sort of encounters and epiphanies that so often appear in her work.

A PERSONAL LOOK AT THE POET: Elizabeth Bishop is considered one of the finest poets of the twentieth century. She only published 100 poems in her lifetime yet won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1956, the National Book Award in 1970, and was the recipient of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 1976. One of the few acclaimed gay female poets at the time, she is a fascinating figure treated with great care by Thomas Travisano, founder of the Elizabeth Bishop Society.
VIVID AND INSPIRING NARRATIVE: Love Unknown is a very readable narrative that is not only deeply researched but atmospheric and detailed in time, place, and character. Bishop's life is an incredible story of art, love, travel, and triumphing over loss, that any reader can immerse themself into.
