Elizabeth Bishop (Worcester, Mass. 1911- 1979 Boston) was an American poet and short-stroy writer. She was Consultat in Poetry to the Library of Congress (1949- 1950), the Pulitzer Price winner for Poetry (1956), the National Book Award winner (1970), and the recipient of the Neustadt International Prize for Literature (1976). Dwight Garner argued in 2018 that she was perhaps » the most purely gifted poet oft he 20th century« . Silvia Bä chli (*1956, Baden) is a visual artist who has become known primarily for her drawing. In doing so, she sparingly condenses gestures and obvious things, using a limited range of media - gouache, oil pastel or ink on paper - and uses diluted black watercolor to create concentrated visual effects with coagulating strokes, lines and blots, sometimes taking bodies, horizon lines or open structures as their measure. She was a professor at the Akademie der Kü nste in Karlsruhe and has been awarded numerous prizes, including the Prix Meret Oppenheim in 2003. Konrad Bitterli (*1960, St.
