Elizabeth Bishop's (Alice Quinn's, really) Edgar Allan Poe & The Juke-Box

Clearly a labor of love for Alice Quinn. I found her copious endnotes far more pleasurable than the fragments and abandoned poems. Remind me to destroy my fragments folder before I die.

My favorite quotes:

"Translating poetry is like trying to put your feet into gloves."

"...the situation of the poet: the difficulty of combining the real with the decidedly un-real; the natural with the unnatural; the curious effect a poem produces of being as normal as sight, and yet as synthetic, as artificial, as a glass eye."
