review 1: It feels very strange to be rating the complete letters of two famous American poets. But they were great letters: so frank and funny and sincere. This collection of the complete correspondence between poets Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell is for the serious fans only; I can't imagine anyone with even a passing interest slogging through all 928 pages of their letters. Someone else's letters are, after all, only interesting up to a certain point, even if the someones in question are Bishop and Lowell. But they entertain and amuse. They had such a delightfully intimate and rare friendship. I felt honored to be able to peek into their lives in this way.
review 2: When I purchased this book, my dad's comment was that Lowell and Bishop were "slutty alcoholics." ... moreBut even though she's gay and he's a man-whore, these two are in lurrrrrrv. It is basically the sweetest thing you have ever seen.UPDATE: As of today, I have literally been reading this book for an entire year. But man, I am still so fond of these snobby ass-hats.UPDATE: IN CASE ANYONE WAS WONDERING, I TOTALLY FINISHED READING THIS BOOK. All 800 billion pages of it. less
