'As Benton says and this delightful book shows, Bishop was "her own best influence".'
-- Lavinia Greenlaw, Independent on Sunday
Soon the Guardian got wind of the new publication, and published an online gallery of her paintings on their website. You can still see it here, with the illuminating commentary on Bishop's work. And, until January 21st, the Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York will be exhibiting Bishop's artwork.

The latest in the critically acclaimed series of anthologies presents twenty-two new writers, representing some of the most exciting new poetry available, from all around the world.

Letford is a remarkably gifted poet who was singled out in Nicholas Lezard's glowing review in the Guardian: 'the pleasure I have gained from William Letford's poems alone will, I am confident, stay with me for ever', Lezard raved. And if you'd like to find out more about the collection and read some excerpts, just visit the New Poetries V page on the Carcanet website.

'An entirely distinctive voice in European poetry': Raptors Wins 2011 Popescu Prize
Here's what the judges thought: 'His [Tellegen's] complex, often surreal and always highly affecting poems exhibit an understanding of the power of the story in which the dream-like psychology, the marvellously nuanced telling of a family's malaise set him apart as an entirely distinctive voice in European poetry.'
Raptors, Tellegen’s acclaimed poem sequence, depicts the dynamics of a family held hostage by the mood-swings and histrionics of a father, a figure both comic and terrifying, grotesque and pathetic.
Raptors is available for £10.36 in the Christmas Promotion, with free UK postage and packing.To find out more about this and all the other titles included in the promotion, go to the News Section on the Carcanet website. Happy shopping!
