Qui va sortir amb Elizabeth Bishop?

Elizabeth Bishop (February 8, 1911 – October 6, 1979) was an American poet and short-story writer. She was Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1949 to 1950, the Pulitzer Prize winner for Poetry in 1956, the National Book Award winner in 1970, and the recipient of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 1976. Dwight Garner argued in 2018 that she was perhaps "the most purely gifted poet of the 20th century". She was also a painter, and her poetry is noted for its careful attention to detail; Ernest Hilbert wrote “Bishop’s poetics is one distinguished by tranquil observation, craft-like accuracy, care for the small things of the world, a miniaturist’s discretion and attention."

Louise Crane (November 11, 1913 – October 20, 1997) was a prominent American philanthropist. Crane was a friend to some of New York City’s leading literary figures, including Tennessee Williams and Marianne Moore.

Crane's father Winthrop Murray Crane was an American millionaire and former governor of Massachusetts. Her mother was Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) co-founder Josephine Porter Boardman. Louise smoothly moved into the role of patron of the arts. She was a prominent supporter of jazz and orchestral music, initiating a series of "coffee concerts" at MoMA and commissioning a vocal and orchestral work by Lukas Foss. She represented musicians, including Mary Lou Williams. Crane collaborated also with her mother in sponsoring musical works.

Crane met Elizabeth Bishop while classmates together at Vassar in 1930. The pair traveled extensively in Europe and bought a house together in 1937 in Key West, Florida. While Bishop lived in Key West, Crane occasionally returned to New York. Crane developed a passionate interest in Billie Holiday in 1941.

Crane published Ibérica, a Spanish-language review, with her partner, Victoria Kent, from 1954 to 1974. Ibérica featured news for the expatriate Spanish community in the United States. Kent was a prominent member of the Spanish Republican party, opposed to Franco. Many prominent writers, including Salvador Madariaga, contributed to Ibérica.

Following her mother's death in 1972, Crane and Kent lived together in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and Redding, Connecticut. Crane was the executor of Marianne Moore's estate after her death in 1972.

Crane lived for years in an 18-room apartment on the fourth floor of the 820 Fifth Avenue building, a luxury cooperative in Manhattan, New York City. Located at the northeast corner of East 63rd Street on the Upper East Side, the 12 story limestone-clad was designed in the neo-Italian Renaissance palazzo style by Starrett & van Vleck, and was built by Fred T. Ley in 1916. The fourth floor is one of only a few units in the building which have changed hands multiple times in the last 10 or 20 years. After Crane’s death in 1997, the apartment was sold to Tommy Hilfiger for around $10,000,000.

Crane and Kent are buried alongside each other at Umpawaug Cemetery, Redding, Connecticut.

Maria Carlota Costallat de Macedo Soares (París, França, 16 de març de 1910-Nova York, Estats Units, 25 de setembre de 1967) va ser una arquitecta a qui s'atribueix la creació del Parc del Flamenc, avui Parc Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, a Rio de Janeiro. Va néixer a Paris, membre d'una prominent família de polítics de l'estat de Rio de Janeiro.

Els seus pares van ser José Eduardo de Macedo Soares, Primer Tinent de Marina amb base a Europa i Adélia de Carvalho Costallat. A París també va néixer una altra filla, anomenada Maria Elvira, coneguda com a Marieta. José Eduardo surt de la Marina el 1912 i torna a Brasil amb la seva família. A Rio de Janeiro, funda el periòdic O Imparcial, precursor del Diari Carioca.

Al principi de la dècada del 1940, Lota, com l'anomenaven comunament, va residir a Nova York on va prendre cursos en el Museu d'Art Contemporani.

Sense haver assistit a la universitat va ser reconeguda com a arquitecta autodidacta i paisatgista. Va ser convidada per Carlos Lacerda, qui acabava de guanyar les eleccions del govern de l'estat de Guanabara (1960-1965) per treballar en el projecte del Parc del Flamenc. Quan en les eleccions següents Carlos Lacerda perd el govern, Lota es retira de la construcció del parc.

Lota va mantenir una relació amb la poeta nord-americana Elizabeth Bishop de 1951 a 1967. La seva relació és relatada en la pel·lícula brasilera ''Flors Rares'' (Reaching for the Moon, 2012), basat en el llibre Flores Rares i Banalíssimes de l'autora Carmem Lucia d'Oliveira, així com en el llibre The More I Owe You (Mentre més et dec), de l'escriptor nord-americà Michael Sledge. El personatge de Lota és interpretat per l'actriu brasilera Gloria Pires.

El 1967, Soares va buscar a Bishop als Estats Units després de recuperar-se d'una llarga depressió durant la qual va estar hospitalitzada. El mateix dia que va arribar a Nova York, el 19 de setembre de 1967, Soares va prendre una sobredosi de tranquil·litzants i va morir diversos dies després.
