Poets throughout history have created countless works intended to stimulate and arouse emotion in their readers. Elizabeth Bishop is one poet in particular who has mastered this skill. Bishop is a world-renowned poet whose works have contributed to her growing national fame. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. She grew up in New England and moved to Nova Scotia, Canada, shortly after her father died and her mother moved to another man. In the fall of 1930, Bishop then attended Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York after completing his basic education. Bishop published his work sparingly for a great American poet. In 1946, twelve years after receiving his bachelor's degree in English literature, Bishop decided to pursue his literary career by publishing his first publication, North and South, which won the Houghton Mifflin Prize for Poetry. Due to its immense popularity and success, she decided to edit and reissue in 1955 under the title Poems: North and South – A Cold Spring, with 18 additional poems which made up the "Cold Spring" section. With the book's further transformation, its popularity skyrocketed, earning her the Nobel Prize for Poetry in 1956. Bishop, like many other authors before her, wrote about her thoughts and feelings. Questions of Travel (1965) focused on his sights, landscapes and feelings during his life in Brazil. Brazil (1967) was a travel book composed of poems about the different surroundings of Brazil. An Anthology of Twentieth-Century Brazilian Poetry (1972) is exactly what it sounds like: Brazilian poetry. Geography III (1976), his last publication, won him the National Book Critics Circle Award. Three years later, she died of a brain aneurysm...... middle of paper ...... the ersion of the "bronze rooster on a porphyry/pillar" serves to "convince/the whole assembly " that the cry of the rooster is not only that of denial. The end of the poem serves to return to the dawn of the courtship that the roosters had originally foretold. The point of view has shifted from the realm of sculpture to focus on the gradual growth of nature from “below,” as the “faint light” of the sun gilds the “broccoli, leaf by leaf.” The emphasis on militarism takes a back seat to Christian forgiveness, which then yields to nature. Bishop does not endorse any perspective on the conflicting symbolic meanings of the rooster, thus preserving the disjunctive quality of the poem. The new order introduced by the sun is ambiguous and unstable because his loyalty is likened to that of an “enemy or a friend” making the roosters retreat almost “inaudibly” with their “insane order ».”.
