The paper also touches on the works she published during her lifetime as well as the awards and honors she received.

From the Paper:

"After graduating, Elizabeth moved to New York, where she started to launch her literary career. She was writing and being introduced to some editors who started to request poems from her. She also spent a couple of years in Europe, living with Louise Crane, her first partner. In 1938, both Bishop and Crane fell in love with the simplicity of a small town called Key West, in Florida, where they bought a house and established their lives. Even living there, they still had contact with the literary circle of New York, and frequently received writers and artists in their house."
