Dana Gioia

4.9/5 (23163 ratings)

Description:"I can't imagine a better way to spend time than in the generous company of Dana Gioia, a poet whose work I've hugely admired over the decades. He's an important critic as well as a poet, with a wide range of interests. He writes about writing with an ease and affection that mask the deep rigors of his thought. Studying with Miss Bishop gathers pieces from his early life lived among writers - poets, in particular. Gioia has been uncommonly lucky in meeting many major poets, among them Elizabeth Bishop. His portrait of her in these pages is shrewd and subtle. The famously elusive poet quivers into life, here. The word delicious aptly describes these essays. Gioia lays out a broad intellectual feast, and readers will come away satisfied and smiling."--Jay PariniIn Studying with Miss Bishop, Dana Gioia discusses six people who helped him become a writer and better understand what it meant to dedicate one's life to writing. Four were famous authors--Elizabeth Bishop, John Cheever, James Dickey, and Robert Fitzgerald. Two were unknown--Gioia's Merchant Marine uncle and Ronald Perry, a forgotten poet. Each of the six essays provides a vivid portrait; taken together they tell the story of Gioia's own journey from working-class LA to international literary success.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
