    My opening sentences is "Elizabeth Bishop was an extremely gifted writer who spoke with a voice ripe with curiosity and understanding".

    Not many long words, but it gets the point across.

    It will kind of depend on the question tbh. But whatever the question, manipulate it back to her combination of precise, imaginative description and thought provoking insight and take it from there...

    EDIT: God I'm seriously screwed if she doesn't come up... You never know with lesbians either what way they will come up!

    "As dykes go...."

    Nah just kidding

    Something trite usually goes down a treat

    Like "Of all the poets on the LC course"

    Or "On first reading the poetry of Elizabeth Bishop..."
