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". For a major American poet, Bishop published very sparingly. Her first book, "North & South", was first published in 1946 and won the Houghton Mifflin Prize for poetry. But she did not publish a follow-up until nine years later. That volume, titled Poems: "North & South - A Cold Spring", first published in 1955, included her first book, plus the 18 new poems that constituted the new "Cold Spring" section. Bishop won the Pulitzer Prize for this book in 1956. Then there was another long wait before her next volume, "Questions of Travel", in 1965, which included one of her short stories "In the Village". Bishop's next major publication was "The Complete Poems" (1969), which included eight new poems and won a National Book Award. The last new book of poems to appear in her lifetime, "Geography III" (1977) included frequently anthologized poems like "In the Waiting Room" and "One Art". This book led to Bishop's being the first American and the first woman to be awarded the Neustadt International Prize for Literature. Bishop's "The Complete Poems, 1927-1979" was published posthumously in 1983.'
