    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.

Argument

Days that cannot bring you near
or will not,
Distance trying to appear
something more obstinate,
argue argue argue with me
endlessly
neither proving you less wanted nor less dear.

Distance: Remember all that land
