Description
Parker shows the struggle with confusion and wonder about things Bishop can never make quiet or clear - about sexuality, politics, tbe burdens of imagination, the fate of the self. He explores Bishop's troubled family background and her concerns with gender and sexuality to offer new and persuasive readings of her poems and her poetic career.
