When I hear this peom, I feel I am lost, for my friends who are currently on another continent called Asia, and for my famliy, my grandma my litter brother and sister, my parents, I lost them even I've forgotten to call them for such a long time. Well, but I have them there in my heart, I know I love them and they are caring me even every second. That's life, it's always filled with lost and found. losing old stuffs and finding new ones. I lost two years time with them, but i found them've never gone, they are here, in my heart!

Actually, the use of the poem in the film lessend its meaning for me. But anyway, this is one of my favorites. I love how she makes it somewhat trivial to loose things, and how the art of writing in comparison to the art of loosing is that through her writing she wishes to loose her emotion in it.

I'm glad to hear that In her shoes at least serves one useful purpose (that of making Elizabeth Bishop's poetry known) I encourage you to read Marilyn Hacker's "From Orient point", a poetical response to "One art". The complementary focus offered by Hacker is always enriching (overall the way in which she points to life's ultimate and bare essentials: "trust your art")

This poem was really nothing until almost half the female population saw the movie "In Her Shoes." Simply amazing. So few words with what seems so little meaning can really change the way you look at the world, and life. Who would have thought that there was so much to loosing. I've lost some loved ones along the way and I am truly glad that this poem was brought to my attention...it's helped me get through a lot in the past while. Thank you Ms. E Bishop, it is truly a sincere and wonderful poem.

I saw that movie on a flight to Zyprus. When reading the story and the cast I did not expect more than just a diversion from my latent fear of flying. When getting into the story I really loved it. I have no sister but I liked the way the conflict was played in this movie. When Cameron reads that poem of Elizabeth Bishop I was so touched. I was on my way to my first vacation with my boyfriend and it is not too long ago that we both had big losts of beloved in our lifes. I instandly knew that when I will be on my PC I will look for this poem. Now I found it and I have to say that I am sorry for all the time I missed the work of Bishop and Cummings. Thanks to the author of the play to bring it to all of us!

Last Monday I went with my boyfriend to watch In her shoes. I have to say that I couldn't help crying while watching it!! But when Cameron started reading the poem I just loved it! Besides the setting she chose to read it (sitting on an old man's bed) was just perfect!, immediately I thought: "I must read it to my friends and family!" (of course I had to translate it, because my native language is Spanish)
Anyway, I loved it!!!!!!
Congratulations Elizabeth!!!!!

Bishop describes the exactly feeling that becomes when you loose someone you love, its so hard, but we have to go on, we have to look as we are ok, even when inside we are just crying... trying to think loose its easy.

Frankly I've never heard Ms. Elizabeth Bishop and her poem "One Art" before the film. It was really impressive to me when I've heard the poem in the film of "In her shoes". Today I watched the film, "In her shoes". And I got the name of the poet and poem. I checked in internet, and I got it. Thanks to the writer of the film that s/he brought this beatiful work to us. We lost my dad last year after twelve years of health battle. Losing a loved one is a disaster, true. The feelings change and transform, but it catches you up everyday. It is so in my case. This sense is with me until the very end. However, life goes on with or without us. As always, I know. I think and pray everyday for all we loved and for all we lost. Now I've got also Bishop's beatiful "One Art" in my hand. Really good work.
