Bishop’s language is precise and eminently readable, making her ideal for those who might feel a little intimidated by picking up a book of poetry. “Geography III,” her fourth and final collection, features some of her best-known work, including “One Art,” “The Moose,” and “In the Waiting Room.” These poems form profound meditations on loss, memory, and how experience shapes the self. The emotional truths contained here have kept me company ever since I first discovered this incredible poet.
