Our São Paulo Correspondent Writes --

Um Porto Para Elizabeth Bishop -- A Safe Harbour for Elizabeth Bishop

Em dezembro de 1951, uma poetisa norte-americana genial e deprimida desembarcou de um cargueiro no porto de Santos para uma breve escala turística e viveu no Brasil uma aventura pessoal que durou 15 anos. Esta peça é o encontro entre essa poetisa e o Brasil exuberante e inquieto dos anos 1950 e 1960.

[In December, 1951, a great but discouraged American poet disembarked from a cargo ship at the port of Santos for a brief tourist stopover, and then lived a personal adventure in Brazil that lasted 15 years.
