Abstract
Abstract:
This critical reassessment of Elizabeth Bishop’s “At the Fishhouses” (1947) focuses specifically on the poem’s interweaving of fire and water imagery with questions of history and selfhood, and engages works by Feuerbach, Emerson, Bachelard, and Blanchot alongside Bishop’s drafts and other key materials held in the Vassar College archive.
