This week, our host Catherine Hickey is joined by Patrick Murtagh and Sean O’Brien to discuss one of their favourite poets: Elizabeth Bishop. Bishop’s discerning eye for detail, her emotional depth and knack for writing from unique perspectives mean that she can be one of the more challenging poets to study at Senior Cycle. Here, we put on the hard sell, and let you know that if you take your time with Bishop, it can all be ‘rainbow, rainbow, rainbow’ for you too.
