| In Studying with Miss Bishop, Dana Gioia discusses six people who helped him become a writer and better understand what it meant to dedicate oneâ s life to writing. Four were famous authorsâ Elizabeth Bishop, John Cheever, James Dickey, and Robert Fitzgerald. Two were unknownâ Gioiaâ s Merchant Marine uncle and Ronald Perry, a forgotten poet. Each of the six essays provides a vivid portrait; taken together they tell the story of Gioiaâ s own journey from working-class LA to international literary success. |
