Erstausgabe
First edition, first printing. Original brown cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dustwrapper designed by Cynthia Krupat. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. There are a few faint spots to the fore-edge of the page block. Complete with the sharp, fresh dustwrapper, fine except for a couple of light surface marks. Not price-clipped ($7.95 to the upper edge of the front flap). A lovely copy. 'Geography III', Bishop's fourth and final volume of poems is, like its predecessors North & South (1946), A Cold Spring (1955), and Questions of Travel (1965) the fruit of over a decade's work. Short and perfectly formed, it contains many of her most celebrated poems ('In the Waiting Room', 'The Moose', the villanelle 'One Art', to name just three). The epigraph to the book is a quirky series of questions and answers drawn from James Monteith's 'First Lessons in Geography' (1884), a copy of which was gifted to Bishop by fellow poet John Ashbery early in 1976. In his book on Ashbery, John Shoptaw cites the postcard, dated April 27, in which Bishop thanks him for the gift: "The geography book is wonderful. I can't quite believe it's real, it is so apt. I may use some of its questions & answers as a POEM, or a foreword, to my book." As his writings on Bishop make clear, Ashbery was in awe of Bishop, but 'Geography III' touchingly shows influence travelling in the other direction Bishop's 'Crusoe in England' (completed in early 1970) almost certainly takes as its cue Ashbery's long poem 'The Skaters' (from 'Rivers and Mountains', 1966). Appropriately enough, the jacket of 'Geography III' prints part of Ashbery's text sponsoring Bishop for the 1976 Books Abroad /Neustadt International Prize for Literature (Bishop would be the first American and first woman to be awarded the prize): "The extraordinary thing about Miss Bishop is that she is both a public and a private poet, or perhaps it is that her poetry by its very existence renders obsolete these two after all artificial distinctions (artificial insofar as poetry is concerned). The private selfthe quirkiness, the rightness of vision, the special sights and events (a moose, a filling station) that have intrigued Miss Bishop to the point of poetrymelts imperceptibly into the larger utterance, the grandeur of poetry, which, because it remains rooted in everyday particulars, never sounds 'grand', but is as quietly convincing as honest speech." 'Geography III' was published on 28 December 1976 in an edition of 7500 copies. (John Shoptaw, 'On the Outside Looking Out: John Ashbery's Poetry', Cambridge MA: 1995; MacMahon A13).

Kit Barker, the inscribee, was a British artist. Of Ilse Barker, The Guardian wrote in her obituary, "In the world of literature, she is now perhaps best known as the influential American poet Elizabeth Bishop's 'Dear Ilse,' a reference to their mutual passion for letter-writing which nurtured a friendship begun at Yaddo, an artists' retreat in New York State, in 1950." [xii], 50 pp. Bound in publisher's original brown cloth with spine lettered in gilt. Very Good+ with light edge wear; top edge dust soiled with moderate foxing to all edges.

An acclaimed final work by the American poet with many of her best-known poems such as "One Art," "In the Waiting Room," "The Moose," and "Crusoe in England." A nice association copy between Bishop and British couple the Barkers (whose collection of correspondence with Bishop is held at Princeton).

Erstausgabe Signiert
First edition, first printing, review copy with the publisher's compliments slip laid-in, inscribed by the author on the title page to fellow poet Elizabeth McFarland, "For Liz Hoffman - love - from Elizabeth Bishop, Nov. 11th 1979", with one sheet of hand-corrected typed notes by the poet Daniel Hoffman, husband of McFarland, introducing a reading by Bishop at the University of Pennsylvania. Elizabeth McFarland (1922-2005) was poetry editor of Ladies' Home Journal from 1948-1962, and an instrumental figure in broadening the influence of eminent poets like W. H. Auden, Marianne Moore, Richard Eberhart, and Walter de la Mare, and popularizing promising upcomers like Maxine Kumin, Sylvia Plath, Adrienne Rich, William Stafford, and John Updike. Daniel (1923-2013) called his wife a "one-woman Guggenheim Foundation" as she fought for fair pay for poets. Together they were a formidable poetic pairing: he was the 22nd Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, a much decorated author of nine books of poetry, and the Felix E. Schelling Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. Bishop was invited to the university in 1979 to award a number of annual poetry prizes, including the Ellis Ames Ballard memorial prize, and give a reading of her own work. Daniel's introduction refers to this, "her most recent book", and praises Bishop's career: "there is no prize of honor for a poet in this country which has not been given to Elizabeth Bishop. when we read [her] poems we feel as does the old fisherman in her poem 'At the Fishhouses', dipping his hand into the sea". Bishop has misdated her inscription: she died on 6 October 1979 of a stroke. Dan Hoffman, "Elizabeth McFarland, a Poet Who Brought Poetry to the Millions", Poetry Society, available online. Octavo. Original brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt, tan endpapers. With dust jacket. Illustrated title page. Loosely inserted are two newspaper clippings, one a review of Geography III, the other an obituary of Bishop. Trivial scratch to rear cover, front inner hinge just starting. A near-fine copy in fine jacket.
