Email this article “Unexpected Moments of Empathy” – Teaching Mindfulness through the Poetry of Elizabeth Bishop
Abstract
The article constitutes an examination of the didactic potential of the poetry and painting of Elizabeth Bishop. Unhurried exposure to her work teaches one a close look at reality, trust in everyday experience, attentiveness to precise expression and the communicability of feelings. Thanks to a modernist poetics indifferent to interpretation but focused on seizing instants of life, the poem and image reveal themselves and fulfill each other in expressing experience and emotion. The didactic of mindfulness permits us to wander the world of Bishop to teach us how to teach.
