News at Eleven: I thought people nutty about [Elizabeth] Bishop

would enjoy going through the back-and-forth. [Laughs] And it's a good book for academics. They would want to know that kind of stuff, and that's information that really isn't available anywhere--in terms of what they did with putting the poems into the house style and then Bishop's responses to what they end up doing. But that's why it's there, and I only did it for the places where the manuscripts were revised. Some of the other poems don't have it because there's no revising, at least in the manuscripts. . . . They show how interesting the process is--how it was collaborative in some ways, where Bishop was open to what they did, or she didn't care, or sometimes maybe she didn't notice--and that there were many hands involved.
