Analytical life portrait of a poet

In her poem One Art, Elizabeth Bishop touches on loss, and says that mastering loss is not a difficult thing. Further, she mentions that many things seem intent on being lost, that heir loss should not be so catastrophic to the one who loses. Bishop had dealt with immense loss in her life since childhood, from her father, her mother, her innocence and much later in life beloved friends and lovers that she felt the need to mock loss, or the feelings that come with loss (Gadpaille & Onič, 2019).
