Other Voices, Other Lives is a selection of poems, plays, and
interviews drawn from over 40 years of work by one of America's most
beloved and influential women of letters. Grace Cavalieri writes of
women's lives, loves, and work in a multitude of voices. The book also
includes interview excerpts from her public radio series, The Poet &
the Poem. Her incisive interviews with Robert Pinsky, Lucille Clifton,
and Josephine Jacobsen offer profound insights into the writing life.
This series is devoted to career-spanning collections from writers who
meet the following three criteria: The majority of their books have been
published by independent presses; they are active in more than one
literary genre; and they are consistent and influential champions of the
work of other writers, whether through publishing, reviewing, teaching,
mentoring, or some combination of these. Modeled after the "readers"
popular in academia in the mid-20th centuries, our Legacy Series allows
readers to trace the arc of a significant writer's literary development
in a single, representative volume.
