On Elizabeth BishopIn this book, novelist Colm Toibin offers a deeply personal introduction to the work and life of one of his most important literary influences the American poet Elizabeth Bishop.

In this book, novelist Colm Toibin offers a deeply personal introduction to the work and life of one of his most important literary influences the American poet Elizabeth Bishop. Ranging across her poetry, prose, letters, and biography, Toibin creates a vivid picture of Bishop while also revealing how her work has helped shape his sensibility as a novelist and how her experiences of loss and exile resonate with his own. What emerges is a compelling double portrait that will intrigue readers interested in both Bishop and Toibin.

For Toibin, the secret of Bishop's emotional power is in what she leaves unsaid. Exploring Bishop's famous attention to detail, Toibin describes how Bishop is able to convey great emotion indirectly, through precise descriptions of particular settings, objects, and events. He examines how Bishop's attachment to the Nova Scotia of her childhood, despite her later life in Key West and Brazil, is related to her early loss of her parents and how this connection finds echoes in Toibin's life as an Irish writer who has lived in Barcelona, New York, and elsewhere.

Beautifully written and skillfully blending biography, literary appreciation, and descriptions of Toibin's travels to Bishop's Nova Scotia, Key West, and Brazil, On Elizabeth Bishop provides a fresh and memorable look at a beloved poet even as it gives us a window into the mind of one of today's most acclaimed novelists.

Good aroma
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I bought this set of soaps out of curiosity and I was surprised. The three scents—leather, sandalwood, and teakwood—are warm and masculine without being heavy. They lather well, leave the skin clean and soft, and haven't dried me out like other men's soaps. The scrub has a nice texture, ideal for use after the gym, and the other two are gentler for daily use. The size is somewhat small, but each bar lasts quite a bit. Overall, a good option if you like to smell good and take care of your skin without complicating things.

Works great and Fig scent smells amazing- generously sized travel body wash~
Scent: Fig, Scent: Fig
I am so used to seeing tiny travel sized toiletries at hotels and that's what I was expecting when I ordered this set. I was pleasantly surprised at how large each bottle is- 3.4 ounces apiece. Grab something out of your bathroom that is 3.4 ounces if you want to compare- but I have actually ordered lotions and body products that are supposed to be full size and they are 3.4 ounces. It's really nice because one of the reasons I tend to pack full size shampoos/conditioners/body wash/ etc. in my luggage on a week- long trip is because the travel sizes never actually last a full week and then you're stuck either using the generic products at the hotel or trying to find somewhere to buy something. This 3.4 ounce size should be enough to last a full week, maybe longer, depending on how much you use each day. I ordered the Fig scent and it is amazing. Fig is basically just a fruity scent so I'd say the fragrance is unisex and therefore this travel body wash could be used by men or women- that's nice because if your wife/girlfriend/sister/etc needs to use it, they can use it without feeling like they have to walk around smelling like a man. It is a fruity scent but it's not too bright like lemon or orange- it feels more sophisticated. The body wash seems a bit pricey but it's really nice and thick. It doesn't seem to be watered down or diluted like a lot of body washes, so you can use it sparingly. That's also nice for getting more longevity out of a travel sized product. Since the manufacturer didn't dilute it with water and make it thin/ runny, you can use it more sparingly and add water to it yourself. That makes it last even longer which is important when you're traveling for awhile. It works as a great cleanser and lathers up really well, especially with a body poof. It left my skin feeling soft and clean so no issues there. I would highly recommend it. 5 stars!
