A full examination of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetry, prose and unpublished material, showing how personal loss, beginning with her father’s death and her mother’s madness, shapes her fluid, unfixed sense of self, and how gender and sexual identity inform loss in her writing. McCabe argues that Bishop resists modernist ideals of impersonal art and instead draws attention to how language constructs identity.
