Elizabeth Bishop

Juliet Stevenson reads and Mark Fisher narrates at the Ledbury Poetry Festival the life and poems of Elizabeth Bishop in the Community Hall.
For a full hour the whole room heard the major details of her life and the poems that corresponded
in the time sequence as narrated. We heard tremendous poetry delivered by the voice of Juliet Stevenson that held my attention on every word. It was spoken with great inflection and where needed with the appropriate accent. There appeared to be more than a touch of sadness when they concluded with her death. I shall have to read more of this revered poet and delve more fully into her complete works that is at home. My two favorites will still be 'Insomnia' and 'The Moose'
