I`ve used this device for anticellulite massage. My hips look better after two months of using. I advise it to all women with similar problems. http: //www.bodytherapy-mb.com

Argh! Webmasters! ...please get that 'a' out of the last line of 'One Art' (right before 'disaster') . Incorrect, and ruins the poem!

I personally love Bishop's work and find it hard to believe that others find it difficult to comprehend. She paints such a clear picture, creating the a link between herself and the reader. This is evident through her intense eye for detail. She is truly a wonderful poet of our time.

The poem Conversation is short but is very confusing and I don't think she really explains the meaning to the reader.

I do not like her poem the fish. It is getting on my nerves because we have to write a paper on it and I am struggling.

There are too many waterfalls here; the crowded streams
hurry too rapidly down to the sea,
and the pressure of so many clouds on the mountaintops
makes them spill over the sides in soft slow-motion,
