poetry about santarém by elizabeth bishop + my dissertation = ecstatic writing frenzy I liked the place; I liked the idea of the place. Two rivers. Hadn’t two rivers sprung from the Garden of Eden? No, that was four and they’d diverged. Here only two and coming together. Even if one were tempted to literary interpretations such as: life/death, right/wrong, male/female - such notions would have resolved, dissolved, straight off in that watery, dazzling dialectic.
