On Elizabeth BishopIn this book, novelist Colm Toibin offers a deeply personal introduction to the work and life of one of his most important literary influences the American poet Elizabeth Bishop.

In this book, novelist Colm Toibin offers a deeply personal introduction to the work and life of one of his most important literary influences the American poet Elizabeth Bishop. Ranging across her poetry, prose, letters, and biography, Toibin creates a vivid picture of Bishop while also revealing how her work has helped shape his sensibility as a novelist and how her experiences of loss and exile resonate with his own. What emerges is a compelling double portrait that will intrigue readers interested in both Bishop and Toibin.

For Toibin, the secret of Bishop's emotional power is in what she leaves unsaid. Exploring Bishop's famous attention to detail, Toibin describes how Bishop is able to convey great emotion indirectly, through precise descriptions of particular settings, objects, and events. He examines how Bishop's attachment to the Nova Scotia of her childhood, despite her later life in Key West and Brazil, is related to her early loss of her parents and how this connection finds echoes in Toibin's life as an Irish writer who has lived in Barcelona, New York, and elsewhere.

Beautifully written and skillfully blending biography, literary appreciation, and descriptions of Toibin's travels to Bishop's Nova Scotia, Key West, and Brazil, On Elizabeth Bishop provides a fresh and memorable look at a beloved poet even as it gives us a window into the mind of one of today's most acclaimed novelists.

High quality
Scent: Bright Coffee, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been very happy with this Batana Oil. It feels like a high-quality, 100% raw and natural product. Since adding it to my hair care routine, my hair has felt softer, more moisturized, and healthier overall. I’ve also noticed less breakage and improved manageability.

It’s nice! Love b.tan products
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
Works well, I had a nice glow after one sit in a tanning bed using it. Nice smell, watery base. Make note that it’s an accelerant as well as a TINT, my hands and feet had some splotching after because I didn’t know that.

Great Natural Tan, Just A Little Tacky
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
This tanning spray definitely helps give a nice natural-looking tan without looking orange or streaky. I’ve used it outside in the sun, in the tanning bed, and while floating in the pool, and it worked well in all three situations. The only downside for me is that it feels very tacky on the skin after applying. Because of that, I definitely prefer using it while relaxing in the pool since it feels less noticeable there. Overall, the tan results are really pretty and natural, so I’ll keep using it despite the sticky feeling.
