The Management Sincerely Regrets...

... that the opportunity to acquire a free bicycle from the Paris Review came to our attention only after the July 22 deadline. We are sure our readers could have provided admirable descriptions of the contest picture in 300 words or less of pure Bishop-ese...



A search of the announcement page for the contest using the term 'Bishop' should allow the perspicacious reader to find at least one entry pertaining to Our Heroine (tm). Perhaps readers who would care to try their hand in this venue could submit their efforts as a comment appended to this post? While we haven't a bicycle to hand, we will be happy to provide those who answer the call to glory by August 1, 2012 with an Elizabeth Bishop Centenary pencil (while supplies last -- when they run out, we'll think of something equally toothsome to offer as an acknowledgment of your efforts)...
