The essay examines the role of primitive art and “non-artistic” genres in the works of the American
poet Elizabeth Bishop. Bishop, similarly to other authors, believed that primitive artists and the authors
of works which art not primarily intended as art can “naturally” achieve effects which artists
have difficulties achieving intentionally. Bishop’s translation of The Diary of “Helena Morley” and its
relationship to her own texts is examined to illustrate the point.
