POETIC DEVICES AND THE MAGIC OF ELIZABETH BISHOP BY DEVON FIELD

ELIZABETH BISHOP 1911 –1979

CHARACTERISTICS OF BISHOPS WORK great attention to detail interest in nature Empathy for creatures surprising imagery

SIMILE A comparison of two subjects using like or as. She’s as sweet as candy. John sings like a flute. Laura is as light as a feather. Don is as slow as molasses in January.

METAPHOR A comparison or analogy stated in such a way as to imply that one object is another one, figuratively speaking. “She was a lone reed blowing in the wind.” “She’s a brick house” “He is a gentle giant.”

ANTHROPOMORPHISM Attribution of human motivation, characteristics, or behavior to inanimate objects, animals, or natural phenomena. “One seal particularly I have seen here evening after evening. He was curious about me. He was interested in music; like me a believer in total immersion, so I used to sing him Baptist hymns.” – At the Fish Houses Watership Down novel with rabbit heroes

REPETITION Words or phrases that appear more than once for added emphasis, effect, or emotion “The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.” –Robert Frost

THE FISH

Initial Reactions?

Can you pick out any poetic devices that Bishop used? Does any line in the power stand out to you?

“Here and there his brown skin hung in strips like ancient wallpaper”

Old Caribbean Jew Fish Peeling Brown Wallpaper

“I thought of the course white flesh Packed in like feathers…and the pink swim-bladder like a big peony.”

“I looked into his big eyes which were far larger than mine but shallower, and yellowed, the irises backed and packed with tarnished tinfoil seen through the lenses of old scratched isinglass.”

“He hung a grunting weight, battered and venerable and homely.” “Like medals with their ribbons frayed and wavering, a five-haired beard of wisdom trailing from his aching jaw.” -”It was more like the tipping of an object toward the light. I admired his sullen face, the mechanism of his jaw…

I stared and stared and victory filled up the little rented boat, from the pool of bilge where oil had spread a rainbow around the rusted engine to the bailer rusted orange, the sun-cracked thwarts, the oarlocks on their strings, the gunnels--until everything was rainbow, rainbow, rainbow! And I let the fish go.

MATCH THAT FIGURE OF SPEECH 1.The sea is … 2. As softly as … 3. On stumps and dead trees the charring… 4. For two weeks or more… 5. The beach… A. Falling stars come to their ends at a point in the sky. B. The trees hesitated; the little leaves waited… C...hisses like fat D. “all a case of knives” F. Is like black velvet.

Thank you!
