From a Pulitzer Prizewinning author, a brilliantly rendered life of one of our most admired American poetsSince her death in 1979, Elizabeth Bishop, who published only one hundred poems in her lifetime, has become one of Americas bestloved poets. And yetpainfully shy and living out of public view in Key West and Brazil, among other hideawaysshe has never been seen so fully as a woman and an artist. Megan Marshall makes incisive and moving use of a newly discovered cache of Bishops lettersto her psychiatrist and to three of her loversto reveal a much darker childhood than has been known, a secret affair, and the last chapter of her passionate romance with the Brazilian modernist designer Lota de Macedo Soares.These elements of Bishops life, along with her friendships with poets Marianne Moore and Robert Lowell, are brought to life with novelistic intensity. And by alternating the narrative line of biography with brief passages of memoir, Marshall, who studied with Bishop in her storied 1970s poetry workshop at Harvard, offers the reader a compelling glimpse of the ways poetry and biography, subject and biographer, are entwined.Finally, in this riveting portrait of a life lived forand saved byart, Marshall captures the enduring magic of Bishops creative achievement.

I bought this for my poetry club, and it's been a hit! Each poem feels intimate and relatable, yet profound. Just a minor note, some of the formatting in the print could be better, but the content is stellar!

Arrived Dented, but Great Poems
The book itself is fantastic, but I was disappointed to receive it with a bent corner. Luckily, the poems make up for it! A nice mix of emotions, just wish it had arrived in perfect condition.

A Thought-Provoking Read!
Elizabeth Bishop's 'A Miracle for Breakfast' is a beautifully crafted collection of poems. I love how she captures everyday moments with such depth and feeling. It's perfect for quiet mornings with coffee.

Deeply Moving Poetry
Absolutely loved 'A Miracle for Breakfast'! Bishop's language is so rich, it makes you stop and think. I gifted a copy to my sister, and she adores it just as much as I do. Worth every penny!

Beautiful, but Not My Style
While I can see the skill in Bishop's writing, some poems didn't click with me. The imagery is lovely, but I expected more variation in themes. Good read, but not what I was hoping for.
