Elizabeth Bishop in Ireland: From Seamus Heaney to Colm Tóibín
View through CrossRef
This chapter looks at the influence of Bishop’s poetry on Irish literature, specifically the work of Seamus Heaney and Colm Tóibín. In the process of doing so, it considers how different authors read Bishop and the extent to which Bishop might be said to read us at the same time. The chapter draws on Gillian White’s book, Lyric Shame, to explore these ideas, in particular her notion of entanglement.
