Elizabeth Bishop What I admire about the poetry of Elizabeth Bishop is her combination of precise‚ imaginative description and thought provoking insight.

The story "The Demon’s Lover” written by Elizabeth Bowen is a story were you can see ambiguity at its finest. In this case there are two ways to interpret the story‚ there is the psychological and the spiritual way of interpreting the plot of the story.
