Bishop's Brain-Teasers

“Blurr’d and inconclusively”

Do we know for certain who shouts in the poem “In the Waiting Room”?
How would “The Fish” be different if a man wrote it?
Do the five fishhooks include her one?
Why does the title leave out the word “son” in “The Prodigal” when throughout the poem Bishop uses “he”?
How did Arthur die in “Last Death in Nova Scotia”?
How many questions does Bishop answer?
How many of her questions did you answer?
