"A shapely experiment, mixing memoir with biography . . . Elizabeth Bishop] fuses sympathy with intelligence, sending us back to Bishop's marvelous poems." -- Wall Street Journal

Since her death in 1979, Elizabeth Bishop, who published only one hundred poems in her lifetime, has become one of America's most revered poets. And yet she has never been fully understood as a woman and artist. Megan Marshall makes incisive and moving use of a newly discovered cache of Bishop's letters to reveal a much darker childhood than has been known, a secret affair, and the last chapter of her passionate romance with Brazilian modernist designer Lota de Macedo Soares.
By alternating the narrative line of biography with brief passages of memoir, Megan Marshall, who studied with Bishop in her storied 1970s poetry workshop at Harvard, offers the reader an original and compelling glimpse of the ways poetry and biography, subject and biographer, are entwined.

"Marshall is a skilled reader who points out the telling echoes between Bishop's published and private writing. Her account is enriched by a cache of revelatory, recently discovered documents . . . Marshall's narrative is smooth and brisk: an impressive feat." -- New York Times Book Review

Nice!
For someone who doesn’t use tanning lotion (like me) this was a no brainer. I washed my hands after applying but applied just like normal lotion over elbows, knees and ankles. No orange spots. Subtle color but that’s the true trick !

This is pretty good. I noticed a golden glow right after I used it. It smells good and didn't transfer onto my clothes. You can apply it whenever you want. It fades easily of course after a shower, however, just reapply it! I used my hands and just rubbed my entire body. Didn't really streak where it's super noticeable, but I did have a few and no big deal really. Just add more. You definitely get a nice glow and the price is great especially compared to the more expensive lotions that I didn't like at all! The bottle is a nice size. I recommend this if you don't want to spend a lot and you'll definitely get a tinted glow!

Been using for years. It moisturizes the skin and adds just enough tone.
