- "One Art" is a poem by American poet Elizabeth Bishop, originally published in The New Yorker in 1976. Later that same year, Bishop included the poem in her book Geography III, which includes other works such as "In the Waiting Room" and "The Moose". It is considered to be one of the best villanelles in the English Language, and is compared to the works of W.H. Auden, Dylan Thomas, Theodor Roethke, Sylvia Plath, and more. The poem shares the title of a collection of Bishop's letters from 1928 to 1979, published as her autobiography in 1994. These letters were exchanged with many influential people in her life, such as her mentor at Vassar, Marianne Moore, and her longtime collaborator Robert Lowell. "One Art" is considered autobiographical by some. The poem was written in a period of separation from her partner, Alice Methfessel, and it was one of her final works; she died three years after it was published in 1979. Geography III and the poem within was met with positive critical reviews and awards; in 1976 and the years following, she received both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the "Books Abroad"/ Neusdadt International Prize for Literature and was elected into the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
